Medical Abortions (The Abortion Pill) – Mifegymiso

The Abortion Pill – Mifegymiso (Mifepristone/Misoprostol) was approved in Canada in July of 2015. The Abortion Pill has been successfully and safely used in Europe since 1988.

Abortion with the Abortion Pill – Mifegymiso is an alternative method for ending an early pregnancy up to 63 days. Taking the Abortion Pill DOES NOT involve a surgical procedure or sedation.

The pill also allows a woman to have an abortion in the comfort and privacy of their own home.

The way that Mifepristone works – is by blocking the hormone progesterone, a hormone naturally needed by the body to maintain an early pregnancy. It causes an early pregnancy to stop growing and detach from the uterine wall.

The Abortion Pill works naturally by ending an early pregnancy, similar to an early miscarriage. Another hormone – prostaglandin, has to be taken 2 days after Mifepristone to assure expulsion of the gestational sac.

95% of women choosing the pill require only one appointment in our clinic.

A follow-up blood test to measure whether the pill was successful or not is done at a local lab.

Once we have received your results and assess them, we will follow up with you over the phone.

You cannot buy the abortion pill online or through a pharmacy. Only specially trained doctors in abortion care can purchase and dispense Mifegymiso (The Abortion Pill).

Our clinic doctors and nurses are specially trained in abortion care and we have superior knowledge and many years of experience.


 The Abortion Pill (Mifegymiso) is a three-step process:

Step 1:

On the first day, you will take the first medication Mifepristone. Mifepristone will destabilize the lining of your uterus and end the pregnancy. You cannot reverse the effects of the medication once you take it.

Step 2:

The second day of 4 pills, Misoprostol, are taken at home, 24-48 hours later. Misoprostol tablets cause the uterus to contract and evacuate the pregnancy naturally.

Step 3:

The follow up is blood work that is done at a local lab (ex: Dynacare or Lifelabs) to measure whether the pill was successful or not.


The Abortion Pill (Mifegymiso) is up to 95-98% effective. If the Abortion Pill is not successful, an aspiration procedure (D&C) will be necessary to evacuate the pregnancy.

Medical Abortion (The Abortion Pill) – FAQ

Q: How long does it take for the process to be completed?

You will need at least 1 visit. Some women may require 2-3 visits. 95% of patients doing a medical abortion using Mifepristone will be completed in the first week. Bleeding usually starts within 30 minutes to 3-4 hours after using the Misoprostol and may be heavy for 4-8 hours. You may continue to have some bleeding or spotting for a few weeks. There is a 5% chance of a delayed reaction. This does not mean you need surgery but does make the process take longer as you may require more medication and time to pass the tissue.

 

Q: Can the abortion pill fail?

There is a 3-5% failure rate with this medication and if they have failed to induce an abortion it is recommended that you return to the clinic for uterine aspiration to complete the procedure as the medication is known to cause fetal demise.

First week:
95% are completed

1% will fail after 1 week and need aspiration abortion

2% will require aspiration because of heavy bleeding

2% will wait longer for the bleeding; could be up to 4 weeks

 

Q: Do I Qualify for Medical Abortion with the Abortion Pill (Mifegymiso)?

In order to have a medical abortion by using the Abortion Pill – Mifegymiso, you must be no more than 63 days from the first day of your last menstrual period. We will do an ultrasound in our clinic to confirm that you are early enough into pregnancy to take the Abortion Pill. We also will review your medical history to be sure you medically qualify for an abortion with the Abortion Pill, Mifegymiso. You must speak and read English well.

Advantages of the Abortion Pill (Mifegymiso)

Your significant other or family member can be with you during the entire process. Many women appreciate having loved ones when a miscarriage occurs. It can be performed up to 63 days of the first day of the last menstrual cycle. It does not require a surgical procedure.

Common Side effect of the Mifepristone

*Side effects may include – mild gastrointestinal (stomach) upset nausea; diarrhea; headache; fever and chills or occasional spotting or bleeding.

Common Side effect of Misoprostol

*Abdominal cramping, mild fevers, and mild gastrointestinal (stomach) upset.

*Bleeding usually follows the cramping and can be heavier than usual for several hours. The bleeding then tapers off to light bleeding like a period.

Side effects are typically mild and tolerable, usually lasting a couple of hours but in some cases may last up to a few days. You will be prescribed pain medication and anti-nausea medications to be taken as needed to minimize discomfort.

 

Q: What I should expect to see after taking the Abortion Pill (Mifepristone and Misoprostol)?

Usually when early in the pregnancy there is no visible embryo. You may experience a heavier period, with some tiny cells that you cannot see, and some tissue lining (like normal shedding as experienced with a heavier period).

 

Q: Do I need to miss work/school?

One of the advantages is that you can plan when taking the Abortion Pill is convenient. Once you take the second set of pills, the miscarriage usually happens within 45 min. In this case, you don’t have to miss work or school. However, there are some uncommon instances where the miscarriage is delayed and it does not begin for several hours after taking the second set of pills. In this case, where the bleeding is delayed, we recommend that you stay home until the miscarriage takes place.

 

Q: Do you have translators?

No. Unfortunately, we receive no government funding for counseling, medication, or translation. The patient should be fluent in English in order to receive the pill.

  • review rating 5  I was at this clinic yesterday but I personally regret my decision. But if you know this is something you want to do then I would suggest going to brampton womans clinic. The woman here are caring and kind and don't judge. From the front office staff to the recovery nurse I never felt judged. I do wish they asked me if I was sure about my choice, I was never asked but I put no blame on them. I had a really great female doctor aswell, wont post her name publicly. This is a throw away account for obvious reasons.

  • review rating 5  Be prepared to wait a bit longer than expected and wear something comfortable. The nurses that you see when you go in for the procedure are really nice to you and they try their best to make sure you have an easy and safe experience. The nurse that is in the recovery room is extremely nice! She’s always checking on you to make sure you are good and has a down to earth personality. My experience here was easy and good. I felt like I was treated with respect and care.

  • review rating 5  I was so scared about the whole procedure but the nurses and doctor made me feel so comfortable; I was in 5th week. So, I was paranoid about incomplete surgical procedure but everything went so smooth, painless and quick (less than 3 minutes) accompanied by light cramps after procedure for 5 minutes which were easily relaxed with 2 Advil .Literally recovered the next day and went back to normal activities but little pressure tingled in Lower abdomen for a week which is not at all discomfortable. And yaaas!! Really clean and hygienic place.

  • review rating 5  This is an Alias account. However, My name is in fact Sarah. I have Recently went in for a surgical abortion on Friday. I have Been to the clinic before... as unfortunately this has not been my first time having this procedure done. I came back to this clinic for a reason. Everyone here is so kind and caring. All the staff, nurses and doctors are non-judgemental and extremely attentive to the patients. They know it isn’t easy and somehow always find the right words to help calm the nerves. During the procedure the female doctor I had Was extremely friendly... and she was very gentle. The nurses gave me the medication and it helped relax me.. while one nurse stayed by my side the entire time and talked my way through it.... and before you know it was done! Would highly recommend this place to any other ladies going through this difficult time. ♥️
