Medication Abortion
CARE THAT FITS YOU
Understanding Your Options
At RISE, we offer both medication abortion and procedural abortion. A medication abortion can be used to end an early pregnancy instead of an in-clinic procedure. It involves two medications, mifepristone and misoprostol, to cause a person to pass a pregnancy, similar to a miscarriage. About a third of all early abortions in the United States and Canada are medication abortions. Our team is happy to discuss this option with you.

Follow-up Care
Follow-up care after a medication abortion is important to confirm that the process is complete and that you are recovering well. This may include an ultrasound, a series of blood tests, or an at-home pregnancy test taken 5–6 weeks later. Our team will talk through each option with you and help determine the approach that best fits your needs.
