Buy Abortion Pills

If you want to have an abortion, you can buy abortion pills from your health care provider. You will typically be administered one or two pills at the clinic, and then receive one pill that should be taken after 24-72 hours. When you buy abortion pills directly from your health care provider, you usually buy them as a part of a package that include two or three visits, tests, exams and the actual abortion pills. Many clinics will also guarantee you a free surgical abortion after two weeks if the abortion pills do not work properly.

The most widely used abortion pills use a combination of two different medicines to cause a medical abortion. The first type of medication contains the active ingredient mifepristone, which will block the hormone progesterone in the body. Without progesterone, the uterine lining will begin to shed and the cervix will turn soft. The second medication, which should be administered 24-72 hours after the mifepristone dose, contains misoprostol. Misoprostol will cause contractions of the uterus that eventually lead to a miscarriage.

Mifepristone and misoprostol have been successfully used in Europe for many years. In the Untied States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave their approval in the year 2000 and made is possible for Americans to buy abortion pills and use them. These abortion pills are also known as RU-486 abortion pills. When you buy abortion pill in the United States, it will be pills of the brand named Mifeprex. As of 2006, only one company produces abortion pills in the United States.

To buy abortion pills and have a medical abortion is usually more costly than having a surgical abortion in the United States. This is partly, but not exclusively, due to the high cost of the abortion pills them selves. An abortion pill that will cost your health care provider $270 to purchase in the United States will only cost an equivalent of $40 in France. It is therefore not hard to understand that many people feel tempted to buy abortion pills from abroad. There is however serious risks connected to this, since you can never be a hundred percent sure about what you actually get. There are reputable online pharmacies out there, but there are also a wide range of unscrupulous ones that will send you useless, harmful or even lethal abortion pills.  

In 1997, the American FDA was prompted to issue a warning since women had begun purchasing so called “abortion kits” from Internet pharmacies. This was before the RU-486 had been FDA approved and you could not buy abortion pills in the United States. Those who did buy these unspecified abortion pill kits over the Internet sometimes ended up with risky drugs that could cause heavy vaginal bleeding and even death. The problem was especially severe since the women used the kits on their own without being supervised by a health professional.

It is true that even the FDA approved RU-486 can cause heavy vaginal bleeding and there are instance where women have died after using the pills, but the risk of death or other severe, long-term side effects are much lower if you buy abortion pills that has been approved by a reputable governmental agency and use them while being cared for by a health professional.
