Chemical termination, also known as a medical abortion, is a non-surgical method for ending an early pregnancy. It involves taking a combination of medications that work together to safely stop pregnancy growth and expel the pregnancy.
At Tampa Woman’s Health Center Inc., we provide this option for eligible patients who prefer a private, less invasive alternative to surgical abortion.
✔
Methotrexate Shot—An injection that stops pregnancy growth by preventing cell division.
✔
RU486 (Mifepristone) Pill—A medication that blocks the hormone
progesterone, preventing the pregnancy from continuing.
When used together, these medications cause the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy, similar to a miscarriage.
This procedure is not right for everyone. The final decision will be made by our physician based on:
✔
Your Medical History—Certain conditions may make a surgical abortion a safer option.
✔
A Physical Examination—To confirm gestational age and assess overall health.
✔
Commitment to Follow-Up Care—This method requires
three office visits to monitor progress and ensure completion.
Our team will guide you through each step, ensuring you have the support and medical supervision needed for a safe experience.
If you are considering chemical termination, we are here to help you make an informed decision about your reproductive health. Our compassionate team is available to answer any questions and discuss your options in a private, supportive environment.
