RU486 and Methotrexate work the same way, their job is to block a hormone needed for the pregnancy to continue. Therefore, it will end the pregnancy, however, a second medication called misoprostol will be needed for the completion of the procedure.

Freedom to Choose

Up to 7 Weeks

The use of these medications in terminations up to 7 weeks of pregnancy is safe but a lengthy procedure that requires a commitment to at least two office visits to ensure that the pregnancy has been completely terminated and the desire to actively participate in the abortion process.
