Suggest Medication To Abort The Fetus
Hi, I may be pregnant, and I would like an abortion, the problem is I cannot go to a clinic to take the pills you have to take (due to where I live and not wanting anyone including my other half to know about it) I have found the correct pills online to buy, will these be safe and is there anyway the pill can be taken at my local doctors surgery if I went there?

Hallow Dear,
Tab. Mifepristone followed by Tab. Misoprostol after 24-48 hours can terminate the pregnancy safely up to 9 weeks of gestation. However, they are not over the counter medicines. They should be procured by Obstetrician's prescription and consumed if prescribed dose under observation. You can get these pills at your local surgery; however only with Obstetrician's prescription.
These medicines can cause developmental abnormalities in the baby. Hence, if at all they fail to terminate the pregnancy, the decision should not be reverted to continuation of pregnancy. In such case, the pregnancy should be terminated by surgical evacuation of uterus.
I hope gives you required information and a message of cation.
