Mifeprex (Mifepristone) or RU-486 is prescribed as a non-surgical abortion method up to 9 weeks and 6 days after the beginning of the latest menstruation. The pill has approximately a 97% success rate. Our physicians will review your medical history and an ultrasound exam will confirm that it is early enough to perform this procedure.
