Medical abortion is a safe and non-surgical method of ending a pregnancy using prescribed medication. It is most effective within the early weeks of pregnancy and is carefully monitored by our medical team. Patients are guided through the process step by step, ensuring comfort and safety. This option allows women to manage the procedure privately while still receiving full medical support. With proper aftercare, recovery is usually quick, and counselling is available to address any emotional or physical concerns.

Medical abortion is a two-step process

The first stage involves taking a tablet which blocks the hormone necessary for the pregnancy to continue. This is followed by a second medication taken 24-48 hours later, which causes the uterus to contract and the pregnancy to be expelled. 

Timing

Can be taken up to 9 weeks (63 days) gestation. We use ultrasound to check gestation and location of the pregnancy.
