How Does Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) Work?

A medical abortion involves two drugs. Mifepristone is the first drug that blocks progesterone, the hormone that sustains pregnancy. Misoprostol is the second drug and causes uterine contractions to expel the pregnancy.

If you have only taken mifepristone and have not taken misoprostol, starting the APR process as soon as possible may help continue the pregnancy. APR involves administering progesterone, a natural hormone essential for pregnancy, to counteract the effects of mifepristone.

How Effective Is APR?

Studies show that APR has a success rate of about 64% when treatment starts within 24 hours of taking mifepristone, though successful reversals have been reported up to 72 hours later. The sooner treatment begins, the better the chances of continuing the pregnancy.

Is APR Safe?

Yes. Progesterone has been safely used in pregnancy care for over 50 years to support women at risk of miscarriage or preterm labor. It is a naturally occurring hormone that plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy pregnancy.
