What to expect from an Early Medical
Abortion
1st stage medication - Mifepristone
You may feel sick for a few hours after taking the 1st tablet. Some clients may experience side effects from this medication such as nausea and/or a headache. In rare cases you may have a flushed face or skin rash. Please contact the Aftercare Line immediately if you experience either of these symptoms. If you vomit within one hour of taking the Mifepristone tablet please contact the clinic. You may need to return for a repeat dose.
Some clients may have bleeding vaginally before the second stage of treatment. If this happens please wear a sanitary towel; do not use a tampon. Bleeding similar to a heavy period is acceptable. If the bleeding concerns you, or if you react badly to the medication, contact the clinic immediately.
