Mifepristone (Mifeprex) and Misoprostol are drugs used in a medical abortion procedure within the first seven to nine weeks of pregnancy. It is also referred to as RU-486 or the abortion pill. A physical exam is given to determine if you are eligible for this medical abortion procedure. You are not eligible if you have any of the following: ectopic pregnancy, ovarian mass, IUD, corticosteroid use, adrenal failure, anemia, bleeding disorders or use of blood thinners, asthma, liver or kidney problems, heart disease, or high blood pressure.
