Medical Abortion Eligibility

Medication abortion is an option for many people with an early pregnancy. Whether it is appropriate depends on your pregnancy duration, health history, medications, and other clinical factors.
Pill Access facilitates access to care by connecting patients with licensed healthcare professionals. The healthcare professional independently reviews your information and determines whether medication abortion is appropriate for you.

Pregnancy Duration

Medication abortion with mifepristone and misoprostol is FDA-approved for an intrauterine pregnancy through 10 weeks (70 days), calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP).
Your healthcare professional will review your LMP and other relevant information to assess the duration of your pregnancy.

What Your Healthcare Professional Reviews

Your healthcare professional may review:

• Your last menstrual period and estimated pregnancy duration
• Your medical history and current health conditions
• Any medicines you currently take, including blood thinners or long-term corticosteroids
• Medication allergies or previous reactions
• Whether you have an IUD
• Symptoms or risk factors that could indicate an ectopic pregnancy
• Other information relevant to your safety and care
• Depending on your individual circumstances, the healthcare professional may recommend additional evaluation, such as an examination or ultrasound.

When Medication Abortion May Not Be Appropriate

Medication abortion may not be appropriate if you:

• Have or may have an ectopic pregnancy
• Have an IUD in placethat has not been removed
• Have certain adrenal problems
• Are taking long-term corticosteroid therapy
• Have certain bleeding disorders or take anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medicines
• Have inherited porphyria
• Have a known allergy or intolerance to mifepristone or misoprostol
• These are important safety considerations identified in FDA-approved information for mifepristone.
• An IUD may be removed before medication abortion when clinically appropriate.

Complete and Accurate Information Matters

Providing accurate health and pregnancy information helps the licensed healthcare professional make an appropriate clinical assessment.
Do not leave out medical conditions, medications, allergies, or symptoms when completing your health information.

Your Clinical Decision

Pill Access does not independently determine whether medication abortion is appropriate.
A licensed healthcare professional independently reviews your information, makes the clinical decision, and provides clinical care. If medication is prescribed, it is fulfilled through a licensed pharmacy partner.
If you have symptoms that may require urgent medical attention, seek appropriate in-person or emergency medical care rather than relying on this website.
