Chemical Termination: A Safe & Non-Invasive Early Abortion Option
What Is Chemical Termination?
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.
How Does Chemical Termination Work?
The Medications Used
✔
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.
Is Chemical Termination Right for Me?
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.
