Abortion Pill Contraindications
You should avoid using abortion pills at home if you are more than 13 weeks pregnant; if you are allergic to mifepristone or misoprostol; if you have serious health problems, including blood-clotting problems; or if you believe or know that the pregnancy is growing outside the womb (ectopic pregnancy).
