The use of abortion pills will decrease as the pregnancy progresses, with the interval of use determined by the development of symptoms and gestational age. This medication must be used with caution under close medical supervision due to the risk of uterine rupture.
Do not trust online abortion pill sales because you may not receive the medication and be scammed. Moreover, most sellers tend to sell abortion pills in increasing quantities according to gestational age, which is extremely dangerous as it is a major cause of injury and death for women.
It is not recommended to purchase abortion pills for self-use, as the care of those with unplanned pregnancies who wish to terminate involves many other important components, such as counseling, encouragement, or post-abortion contraceptive services, etc.
Currently, terminating a pregnancy using medication is safe if obtained from a doctor or specialist. However, THE EXIT found that there are small-scale sellers without knowledge of abortion pill use who utilize popular social media platforms among teenagers, like Twitter, to sell abortion pills along with incorrect advice. THE EXIT randomly purchased abortion pills from two small-scale sellers and found them to be paracetamol and unidentified drugs.
