What drugs are used to terminate a pregnancy?

Doctors use the following means to terminate a pregnancy:

• "Mifepristone" and prostaglandins - administered vaginally, first the first drug, and after 24 hours - the second (nausea, digestive problems, bleeding may occur);

• "Methotroxate" - put an intramuscular injection, and after 5 days prostaglandin is administered vaginally. The scheme is very effective, but complete abortion may take several weeks;

• "Misoprostol" - prescribed as the main drug or combined with "Methotrexate". This is the safest drug for health, but there are cases of incomplete abortion;

• "Mifegin" is a French drug that is given to patients for up to 6 weeks. Has a very high efficiency;

• "Mifepreks" - use during the first 42 days after the delay;

• "Pencrofton" - a tablet preparation containing the substance mifepristone, is used for emergency abortion.

After a medical abortion, within 3-4 hours, moderate pains in the lower abdomen appear, as well as vaginal discharge. Within a week or two, spotting remains. 14 days after the second consultation, the girl must be tested and undergo an ultrasound scan to confirm the abortion. If it occurred partially, vacuum aspiration is prescribed.
