Frequently Asked Questions
General
Can I get pregnant again after doing a medical abortion?
Yes. Generally, a medical abortion has no affect on your future possibilities of conceiving, as long as it's done properly.
Dosage
My pregnancy is only at 4 weeks. Can I just take 4/6/8 tablets of Cytotec?
No. Even if your pregnancy is of 2 weeks, DO NOT change the dosages. Take all the dosages as instructed, for all pregnancies up to 12 weeks.
We repeat: DO NOT change or modify the dosages on your own.
Reducing the dosages will not make the procedure more comfortable or avoid the side effects. It will only fail, cause complications, and waste your time.
My doctor said only 4 tablets are required if I take them vaginally?
You will hear differing opinions and dosages from each doctor. There are hundreds of ways of using these tablets for a medical abortion.
