A medical abortion uses a combination of pills to cause the non-surgical termination of an early pregnancy up until the 9th week of pregnancy. The safest, most effective type of medical abortion requires the use of two different drugs. These medicines, called Mifeprisone, (also known as Mifepristone, RU486, RU or Mifeprex, the abortion pill or mifegyne) and Misoprostol (also known as Cytotec , Arthrotec or Oxaprost or Cyprostol, Cyprostoll or Misotrol) provoke the spontaneous expulsion of the pregnancy from the uterus.
Women on Web helps to create access to safe abortion services with abortion pills. This website acts as a referral service in forwarding your information and request for a medical abortion service to a licensed doctor.
The doctor can provide you with an abortion with pills after a medical consultation which takes place online. To enable the doctor to decide whether you can obtain an abortion with pills without risk, it is crucial that you provide accurate and complete information. Omitting any information requested could result in damage to your health.
- You do the consultation and answer all questions according to the truth.
- You will be obliged to provide a valid e-mail address and provide your address and phone number.
- You will be asked to make a minimal donation (no sale). This way we can guarantee the service remains available for other women as well. In case you cannot make a minimal donation you can contact Women’s Wallet to receive a donation on your behalf.
- You will receive a confirmation by e-mail from the doctor to whom you have been referred.
- The medical abortion will be obtained from a pharmacy. A consultant will ensure that the medical abortion service is delivered by express courier at the address you gave to the doctor.
- Normally, the shipment takes less than 10 days to arrive.
- After 2 to 3 weeks you will receive an e-mail with the follow-up consultation.

In some countries Misoprostol is available in pharmacies and it might be a better option for you to do the abortion with Misoprostol alone. Follow the instructions "How can I do an abortion?" on the Women on Waves website.

Reference List
Research about the Women on Web services published in the BJOG, August 2008 has shown that it is acceptable and safe for women to do medical abortions at home in countries where there is no access to safe abortion services. The study showed that with a 78% follow up, 6,8% of women have received a curettage or vacuum aspiration by local doctors, this is in the same range as other abortion services provided in outpatient settings.
