Many people who are unprepared for pregnancy and start looking for information may encounter these terms in conversations, online, or among friends. However, in reality, “abortion pills,” “insertion pills,” and “blood-expelling pills” are not the same and cannot always be used interchangeably.
1. Abortion Pills refer to the use of medication to terminate a pregnancy. Generally, two types are used together:
- Mifepristone: Stops the action of hormones, making the uterine lining unsuitable for growth
- Misoprostol: Causes the uterus to contract and expel tissue, similar to a natural miscarriage
Can be used safely under medical supervision
2. Insertion Pills is a term commonly used to refer to the drug Misoprostol, which is in the form of a tablet used for “vaginal insertion” or placed under the tongue
- It is a drug used in the process of terminating a pregnancy, but if used “without assessing the gestational age and health,” it can be dangerous, such as incomplete miscarriage, continuous bleeding, or infection
3. Blood-Expelling Pills
Is a term found in drug sale posts or on illegal websites
- Cannot clearly specify what the drug is
- No control over dosage and usage method
- High risk to both body and life
- Sometimes ineffective or has severe side effects
When to Use and What to Be Careful About
- The use of “abortion pills” must be under medical supervision
- Gestational age must be assessed, and the appropriate method chosen
- Do not buy drugs from unknown sources or without clear information
Do not risk your life because there are currently safe, legal services that provide consultation without the need to reveal your identity
