At 5 weeks, a medical abortion is highly effective and safe. The standard regimen involves two generic medications: mifepristone and misoprostol. First, mifepristone is taken to block progesterone, the hormone needed to support the pregnancy. Then, 24 to 48 hours later, misoprostol is used to empty the uterus, similar to a heavy period. While these medications are safe, it is essential to consult a healthcare provider before taking them. A doctor will confirm the pregnancy's location via ultrasound, ensure there are no contraindications, and provide the correct dosage and follow-up care. Please visit an OB-GYN or a local clinic to guide you safely.
