Abortion Pill (medication abortion)
What is the Abortion Pill
At our Queens, New York abortion clinic you can obtain the Abortion Pill. It’s a non-surgical abortion, sometimes called “medical abortions” or "medication abortion" which are performed in the first 9 weeks in the first trimester. A non-surgical abortion can be administered in pill form that has been approved by the FDA for non-surgical abortions. The first medicine will stop your pregnancy from growing and a second medicine will help expel your pregnancy. Since there is always a statistically small chance of failure with this method, you must be willing to have a surgical abortion if the non-surgical abortion fails. In addition, you must be able to be able to receive phone calls from the office and commit to two or more visits to the office in case they are required.
