There are few reasons why you might not be able to take the medicines that cause an abortion. You should not use the medicines if:

  • someone is forcing you to end your pregnancy.
  • you have an allergy to Mifepristone, Misoprostol, or prostaglandins.
  • you have one of the following diseases: chronic adrenal failure, hemorrhagic disorders or bleeding disorders/diseases, Inherited Porphyries, severe anemia, or severe untreatable asthma. (It is highly unlikely that you have one of these diseases and do not know it yet.)
  • you can not get to a hospital or first aid centre within an hour.

When you have an intrauterine device (IUD), if possible, we advise to have it removed before using the medicines.

Screening women for contraindications on the internet is very similar to the screening process at a face-to-face visit between a doctor and a patient. The doctor generally finds out about contraindications by asking the patient if she has any of these medical conditions. “All contraindications to Mifepristone-Misoprostol, aside from gestational age…are uncommon and based on medical history and therefore should already be known to women. Indeed, doctors screen women mainly by asking them if they have the conditions." 7
