Abortion Pill UAE
Medical Abortion (Medication Abortion), also called the “Abortion Pill UAE” is a non-surgical, safe, and effective early option to end a pregnancy up to 11 weeks. If you qualify, you can get a medication abortion. If you are more than 11 weeks from the first day of your last period, you can have an in-clinic abortion to end your pregnancy.

What To Expect When I Take the Abortion Pill UAE
The Abortion Pill UAE consists of two different medications taken 24 hours apart. The first, Mifeprex, will block the hormone that the pregnancy needs to grow.
After Taking the Abortion Pill Expectations
Most people don’t have any symptoms after taking this first medication, even though it is extremely important for the process to work.
The second medication, Misoprostol, will interact with the uterus to bring about the cramps that will expel the pregnancy.
The process is identical to a natural miscarriage, which means you will experience cramping pain followed by bleeding and passage of blood clots.
The severity will depend on the age of the pregnancy; the earlier it is the less the cramping and bleeding that’s experienced. The pregnancy will be expelled along with the blood clots.
The Abortion Pill UAE Invasive?
The good part about the medication is that it is not invasive, and no surgical procedure will usually be necessary. We want to avoid anything that places instruments inside the body if possible.
The best practice in medicine is to approach treatment with the least amount of invasion into the body and therefore have the least risk.
A surgical procedure should really only be performed if you are too far along for the pill to work, or in case the abortion pill UAE has already been taken and failed, which is very rare.
Does The Pill Give Me More Control?
Yes, and when you are already in a situation that seems to be out of control, regaining some of that control is very empowering and allows you to better deal with everything.
We strongly believe that giving control back to women is very helpful to allow them to have a more positive experience.
Things are already difficult for you because of circumstances. We want to do our best to make it less difficult.
Every little bit of power and control we give back to you takes more burden off from you and will hopefully lighten your heart a bit.
Does the Medical Pill Allow Me More Privacy?
Yes, the Abortion Pill UAE allows the termination to take place in the privacy of your home, in a place and time of your choosing.
The privacy of your home is a place of comfort and relieves the stress of being surrounded by strangers.
What Is the Cost of the Abortion Pill UAE?
The cost of the Abortion Pill UAE can vary in UAE depending on which clinic you visit. We ask that you call us to get the most up-to-date pricing in our clinic because our prices are subject to change.
What Makes You Different From Planned Parenthood or the Other Abortion Chain Clinics?
There’s nothing wrong with the Chain of Abortion Clinics like Planned Parenthood. However, we have a different philosophy to offering our family planning services.
We are not a chain, and in fact, we are at one single location in the UAE.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the medical abortion pill UAE?
Medical abortion is induced with a medication called RU486 (mifepristone) given in combination with cytotec (also known as misoprostol).
The abortion pill UAE is effective for an early pregnancy, and works about 90-95% of time. It is therefore very effective. Sometimes, severe cramping, pain, and bleeding can occur, and on rare occasions might result in an emergency.
A rare risk of the medication includes sudden hemorrhage, which may necessitate surgical D and C. This method is usually very successful, and its advantage is that it avoids the more invasive D and C procedure which carries with it more risks.
If the pregnancy is early enough, we usually recommend the pill over the surgery, again because it is very effective and carries less risk than the surgical removal.
Of course, this is dependent on the patient’s medical history and current situation. The consultation with our physician will help determine if the pill is right for you.
Up to how far along, or how late can the abortion pill be taken?
The medication is effective up to 11 weeks from the last menstrual period, if periods are accurate and regular, which is equal to 8 weeks from the time of conception.
After 11 weeks, it is no longer effective, and it will not be an option. After 11 weeks, surgical removal is the only option. During those 11 weeks, sooner is usually better.
The sooner it is, the smaller it is, and there is less pain, less bleeding, less risk of hemorrhage, and it is slightly more effective.
How do I take the abortion pill UAE?
Your physician will go over the instructions on how to exactly take the pills for maximum effectiveness. Properly following this protocol is crucial to ensure success.
On Day 1, Mifeprex is swallowed, which usually has no immediate effect.
On Day 2, after 24-36 hours, Misoprostol is taken as a set of 4 pills together between the gum and the cheeks.
The process of the expulsion usually begins within a few hours of taking the second medicine on Day 2.
What happens if the abortion pill UAE fails and doesn't work?
This is certainly a possibility, however it is usually rare. For this reason, we recommend that you return for a follow up visit within 2-3 weeks, to ensure that the termination was successful.
This treatment has a very high success rate, working at least 90-95% of the time according to published research. In our practice, we find an over 95% success rate, which is almost as good as the surgical method.
Remember, even the surgical removal method carries a chance of failure, which is only slightly better than with the medication method.
Even though failure is always a possibility, it is always better to try a non-invasive method first which almost always works, and only resort to more invasive surgery in the rare event that it fails.
We utilize the protocol that carries the highest success rate in the UAE, so we offer you the best chance of success in our facility.
What to expect after taking the abortion pill UAE?
This method will cause a miscarriage. The process is the same as a natural miscarriage; the only difference is that it is brought about after taking these medications.
A miscarriage is the body’s natural process of expelling a pregnancy. The uterus will contract to push out the tissue.
The contractions are perceived as cramps, not like labor contractions, since the pregnancy is very much smaller than a term fetus.
The cramps will be accompanied by bleeding, which can vary from very mild to very heavy.
The severity of the cramps and the bleeding are usually proportional to the gestational age. The earlier, the less cramping pain and the less the bleeding, as there is considerably less tissue that needs to be expelled. This is the reason that we say earlier is always better.
What are the side effects of the abortion pill?
The mifeprex doesn’t usually have any side effects. The side effect profile is tied to the second set of pills that are taken, called misoprostol or cytotec.
Misoprostol can cause gastro-intestinal effects of nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. It can also cause sensation of warmth or cold, fevers, and chills. Remember, some people may not experience any of the effects, while others may experience some or all of them.
All of these side effects are normal, and are no cause for alarm. Usually, they are very short lived and go away within a few hours. Most people will have only minimal side effects, if any, and majority will not require any of the treatments mentioned above, although they remain an option.
Can you change your mind about your abortion after you’ve taken the first abortion pill UAE?
After you have met with our counselor and discussed all the issues surrounding your pregnancy, we hope you will be committed to your decision. However, sometimes circumstances and minds can change.
Studies on the abortion pill UAE show that if you take the first medicine, but not the second, the abortion pill is less likely to work.
So, if you’ve begun the process of having an abortion by the abortion pill but are having second thoughts, it is very important to contact us right away to talk about your best next steps and what to expect.
When can I return to work?
Usually, within 2-3 days after the process you may resume work. You should wait longer if directed to do so by you health care provider. Some women may require longer to resume work, depending on how they feel. If you feel well enough to return, then you may do so.
When can I resume sexual activity?
You should refrain from any sexual activity for at least 4 weeks. Certainly, do not have sex prior to returning for your follow up visit.
What is your confidentiality policy?
We are committed to protecting your confidentiality as much as possible. We understand the sensitive nature of family planning and abortion services, and do whatever we can to protect patient confidentiality.
We do not release any information to anyone other than you unless specifically directed to do so by you, or as is required by law.
Do I need to inform and get the consent of my partner (husband or boyfriend) or parents if I am a minor?
No. The consent of the patient is all that is needed. The parent’s consent is not necessary for a pregnant minor patient in USA.
Do I need an appointment?
We cannot accommodate walk in visits, and it is required to make an appointment ahead of time to ensure you will be seen.
But don’t worry, we can usually get you in within a day or two, and we try to give prompt appointments because we know you need our services quickly. Just call us, and we will get you set up quickly.
Do you offer pregnancy testing?
Yes, we offer a pregnancy tests to anyone that wants one and qualifies.
What is the difference between the abortion pill and the “morning-after pill”?
The “morning-after pill,” also known as Plan B, helps prevent pregnancy when taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex. Plan B is NOT an abortion pill UAE. It does NOT affect or stop an existing pregnancy.
Is the Abortion Pill or surgical, in-clinic abortion better? How can I tell what is best for me?
At your appointment you will have the opportunity to discuss your pregnancy options using the abortion pill UAE, the details of the abortion procedures, and any questions or concerns you may have.
Your social worker and your doctor can give you the information you need to help you make an educated decision about what is best for you.
