Do you mean Plan B pills, Levonorgestrel (EC)? It is not an abortion pill though. It is an emergency contraceptive that can still prevent a pregnancy after contraceptive failure, unprotected sex, or sexual assault. More info here if that's what you are looking for: http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/infopage/planB/planBQandA.htm http://health.yahoo.com/topic/pregnancy/medications/drug/healthwise/d00557n1 http://www.go2planb.com/ForConsumers/Index.aspx |

There is no such thing as "abortion pill",at least not in naija anyway.There is a drug called Mifepristone (RU486) which is an abortifacient,but that is only used & prescribed by specialists in hospitals & under strict conditions & surveillance. Of course,it is a different matter if your friend is actually intending to PREVENT pregnancy,in which case she can use the contraceptive pills, the "morning after" pill or the coil which are not abortifacients but rather reduce the chance of pregnancy occuring in the first place,after unprotected sex. |

Blimey! We're talking about human lives, not cattle! Abortion's being disscussed as calmly as if the weather's the topic here. Taking such strong medication, without proper medical checks and prescription could be tragic. People react differently to different drugs, i.e just because your friend took medication and was fine, does not mean you'll tolerate the same! Which is the reason folk are tested first to determine their tolerance, before powerful medication are prescribed. Some people have intolerance to drugs as common as Aspirin and Quinne, with mild to severe side effects. Imagine an intolerance to drugs that are a lot stronger, it's possible to trigger a heart attack, or an epileptic fit. |

I suggest u use preventive pills instead, abortion is murder oooo. Just like the saying goes "prevention is better than cure" You the guy may not know the implications of abortion but the woman should know better than that. It can damage her womb or even kill her, so be wise Bro! |
Re: Abortion Pills by Nobody: 2:16pm On Oct 23, 2007 |
Your "Friend" should not kill herself, there are no abotion pills, only morning after contraceptives. These are in effective after 72 hrs of intercourse. Abortion still remains illegal in Nigeria, getting an abortion is her own risk |

Re: Abortion Pills by Pappyjesby(m): 1:02am On Nov 14, 2007 |
Abortion pill? Well, I don't think there is any thing like that yet, may I suggest that pregnancy be prevented in the first place, rather than terminating it. To start with, abortion in Nigeria today is a criminal offence, that apart, it is widely condemned by most religious beliefs, based on these facts If you know you aren't ready for baby yet, I would advise that you should stay away completely from unprotected sex. You can suggest to your man to make use of condom, or you can engage the service of contraceptives, or better still any available safe family planning programme. I think this is safer than to risk your life unnecessarily. You stand a lot of risks when you abort your pregnancy, You stand the risk of being infected with HIV I or II not only that you may be infected with siphilis, Hepetitis B etc. I will therefore recommend that unwanted pregnancy be prevented at all cost. |

abortion??!!! i dnt know why people can't just try to prevent pregnancy if they do not want the baby in the first place. . . now they think it's just easy to take a drug to wipe out the fetus. it's a shame, really it is!! the person might as well take a gun and shoot another person. . . .it's same as killing. the only difference is that abortion is legalized!! |

Re: Abortion Pills by skitowo: 8:32pm On Feb 06, 2008 |
Medically any drug that could cause abortion is contraindicated. appart from the abortion which might be your desired effect it often leads to incomplete abortion, this is a very good culture medium for bacteria hence resulting in septic abortion, and the complications of sepsis can be irreversible if not death. Please this is a professional advice. |
Re: Abortion Pills by skitowo: 8:50pm On Feb 06, 2008 |
Therapeutic abortion (abortion as a treatment) is however allowed in 1. case of rape 2. when the life of the woman is threatened 3. when the fetus has very bad congenital deformities. The procedure should be carried out by a qualified medical doctor. It usually involve D&C or more advance procedure depending on the gestational age. but NEVER with abortion pills. |
Re: Abortion Pills by fsb(m): 5:20am On Feb 07, 2008 |
Okay, for the purposes of information only and not because am pro-abortion, I would like to say that YES, there are actually pills available for inducing a miscarriage. As to availability, they are available just that they are not OTC drugs (over the counter). They are under direct government control but I believe they are available. Secondly, I am not pro-abortion but I can't stop wondering which is a lesser crime: Inducing a miscarriage or Having a baby and dumping it in the refuse dumps scattered across cities in Nigeria? fsb PS: Please remember that inducing a miscarriage is illegal in Nigeria? |

This was copied from a facebook post. Might be helpful Ending a Pregnancy Ending a Pregnancy What is abortion? Abortion means ending a pregnancy early. In some cases, a woman’s pregnancy ends on its own. This is called a miscarriage, or a spontaneous abortion. In other cases, a woman chooses to end her pregnancy by taking medicine (called medical abortion) or having surgery (called surgical abortion). These 2 types of abortion are usually done in the first trimester (the first 3 months) of the pregnancy. They are performed by a doctor and other health care professionals in the hospital, doctor’s office or health center. What is medical abortion? A medical abortion is an abortion caused by medicine. It can only be done in the first 9 weeks of pregnancy. The most common type of medical abortion uses a medicine called mifepristone. This is a pill that blocks progesterone, a hormone needed for pregnancy. It causes the lining of the womb (uterus) to become thin. For this procedure, a woman visits her doctor 3 times. During the first visit, the woman takes mifepristone. She comes back a few days later to take another medicine called misoprostol. Misoprostol makes the uterus contract and empty. Many women have bleeding for about 13 days after taking misoprostol. Light bleeding or discharge (called spotting) can continue for several weeks. After a couple of weeks, the woman will return to the doctor for a follow-up visit to be sure that the medicine was effective. What does medical abortion feel like? For most women, medical abortion feels like a bad menstrual period with strong cramps, diarrhea and upset stomach. These symptoms are normal. Acetaminophen (one brand name: Tylenol) or ibuprofen (two brand names: Advil, Motrin) can help relieve the cramps. However, the doctor will want to know if any of the following occur: Bleeding through more than 2 sanitary pads in an hour Fever above 100°F for more than 4 hours Pain even after taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen How effective is medical abortion? Mifepristone is about 97% effective. In rare cases when medical abortion doesn’t work, surgical abortion may be tried. What is surgical abortion? Surgical abortion is a procedure done by a doctor to remove the lining of the womb. There are 2 common procedures: manual vacuum aspiration (MVA), and dilatation and evacuation (D&E). They both use suction to empty the womb. MVA uses a handheld tool. D&E is done with a suction machine and tools. MVA can be done in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. D&E can be done after the first month of pregnancy and before the end of the 13th week. For both procedures, medicine can be given to help the woman feel calm. Then the doctor injects around the opening to the womb (called the cervix) with medicine to make it numb. The cervix is stretched open with a tool called a dilator, and the doctor inserts a tube. The uterus is emptied through this tube. What does surgical abortion feel like? For most women, surgical abortion feels like strong menstrual cramps. Women are usually given medicine to help with the pain and told to rest when they get home. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen can also help. Bleeding may continue off and on for a few weeks. How effective is surgical abortion? Surgical abortion is nearly 100% effective. Are abortions safe? When done by health care professionals during the first trimester, both medical and surgical abortions are generally very safe. Serious complications are rare. Abortion generally does not reduce a woman's ability to get pregnant in the future. Written by familydoctor.org |
