People can use the abortion pill to end a pregnancy until around 10 weeks from the first day of their last period. However, in some cases, an extra dose may be necessary.
A medical abortion, also known as the abortion pill, currently accounts for around 54% of abortions worldwide. It involves taking two pills.
The time frame and access to the medication will depend on the healthcare professional and the law in a specific state.
How late can you take the abortion pill?
In 2000, the FDA initially approved abortion pills to
end a pregnancy up to 49 days gestation, or the seventh week of pregnancy. Gestation is the number of days since the first day of a person’s last menstrual period.
Then, in 2016, after reviewing further data and information submitted by the drug manufacturer, the FDA approved abortion pills to end a pregnancy up to 70 days gestation, or 10 weeks.
