If you’re facing an unexpected pregnancy, you may be searching online for answers. One option that often appears is purchasing abortion pills through the Internet. While this might seem like a convenient solution, ordering abortion drugs from unregulated sources can carry serious health risks that aren’t always immediately clear.
Understanding what’s involved in this process and what’s missing can help you make a decision that prioritizes your health and safety. Azar House is here to equip and inform you with free and confidential services.
Continue reading to learn essential information on abortion pills purchased online.
The abortion pill involves two drugs: mifepristone, which stops the pregnancy from progressing, and misoprostol, which causes the uterus to expel the pregnancy. ow
However, ordering these drugs online—often after a single telehealth appointment—means receiving drugs from sources that may not meet the FDA’s safety or quality standards. Many online pharmacies ship from other countries, where regulations may be less strict or even nonexistent.
Without oversight, you cannot guarantee receiving the correct drug, dosage, or instructions.
A key concern with an “online abortion” is that these drugs are often taken without an ultrasound. Skipping this step leaves important questions unanswered, including the following:
How far along are you?
Is the pregnancy located in the uterus, or is it ectopic?
Is the pregnancy progressing, or has a miscarriage already occurred?
These are all essential details that help determine your options. Additionally, taking abortion drugs without knowing these facts can increase the risk of complications like heavy bleeding, infection, or incomplete abortion, especially if you don’t know the warning signs to look for.
If you’re considering the abortion pill, confirm your pregnancy first. At Azar House, we offer free pregnancy testing and can help you obtain a limited obstetrical ultrasound if your test is positive. This enables you to prioritize your health and learn what steps to take next.
