Abortion Pill Information

Medical Abortion

Medication abortion also called the abortion pill, can be taken up to 70 days (10 weeks pregnant). On average, the cost of the abortion pill in clinic ranges from $300 to $700 in the United States.

Medical abortion isn’t an option if you:(1)

• Have an intrauterine device (IUD) currently in place.
• Have a concern that the pregnancy is outside of the uterus. This is called ectopic pregnancy and can be life-threatening.(2)
• Are further along in your pregnancy than 10 weeks. The FDA has only approved the abortion pill for up to 10 weeks from the LMP. Taking the abortion pill later in pregnancy is associated with increased risk of complications, such as an incomplete abortion or severe bleeding.(3)
• Have certain medical problems including: bleeding disorders, severe liver or kidney disease, known cardiac disease, or an uncontrolled seizure disorder.
• Take certain medications including blood thinners or steroids.
• Are allergic to the medicines used.

The gestational age of your pregnancy determines the type of abortion procedure usually recommended. Get a free ultrasound to determine how far along you are and explore your options. Many telehealth abortion pill providers require an ultrasound before administering abortion pills,  and we offer this service at no cost. Same-day appointments may be available.
