Early Abortion Medical/Non-Surgical or Instrument-Free Abortion (3 to 9 weeks)
There are many ways to describe Non-Surgical Abortions. The different names used are medical, early non-surgical, chemical or instrument-free abortion. It is a procedure that has been more frequently performed in the United States since the year 2000 when it was the first time the FDA approved a medication specifically for terminating pregnancies without the use of surgery. In several European countries, nearly 50% of women choose to undergo their abortion using the Non-Surgical Abortion procedure. Early abortions both surgical and medical are very safe and efficient when performed by a skilled physician.

There are different medications that can be used for the medical abortion procedure which include RU486 (Mifeprex, Mifepristone, Abortion Pill, Early Option Pill, French Pill), Methotrexate, or Tamoxifen. RU486 is the only medication approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) to use specifically for medical abortion in the United States. The other two medications are FDA approved for other medical indications, but were also found to be highly effective in terminating pregnancy.

The medical abortion is an option for women who are no more than 9 weeks pregnant. During the first appointment at our offices, you will receive the Mifepristone pill to take by mouth, or the Tamoxifen pill which is also taken by mouth, or Methotrexate which can be taken by injection or by mouth. 48 to 72 hours later, in the privacy of your own home, you will insert Cytotec (Misoprostol) tablets into your vagina, which causes contractions resulting in a miscarriage. The Cytotec (Misoprostol) tablets can be inserted later than 72 hours if your schedule does not permit the tablets to be inserted vaginally before then. When used in combination, there is a 90 to 98% rate of success. The success rate decreases with the further number of gestational weeks. There is close to a 99.9% success rate for patients 6 weeks or less from their last menstrual period.
