I am very familar with this medication and just asked the same question in a differnt form I was needing to know a pharmacy that I could get this medication from fast. There are several IOP's that do sell this medication. Misoprostol (cytotec) was not originally set out to be an early abortion drug. It was to prevent stomach ulcers. Therefore, OP's sell this drug for that reason. You will also need to order Methotrexate to be taken first. Which was a medication origanally to treat different types of cancer. But, it also stops the hormone growth that is needed to sustain a pregnancy. These medications could be taken at home, but you do need to be WELL informed on what to take and what to expect. When you go to the clinic you will just have an exam to determine how far along you are. You must know that you are under 7 weeks. Some clinics will let you go to 8 weeks because new studies have shown it is still effective. I worked in abortion clinics for a couple of years and I do recommend using this medication as soon as possible 4 or 5 weeks is best. Just because of the pain involved and for many it can be severe. Alot more severe than having a surgical abortion. I completely understand why you would feel more comfortable choosing a medical abortion, but when you have a surgical abortion it is cheaper is most cases, you can be put to sleep, or be awake and sedated, there is mild to severe cramping that last no more than 5 minutes then in about 20 minutes you feel pretty much back to normal unless you were put under general anesthesia then you will be tired for a good part of the day. With the abortion by pill. You should take the methotrexate on the first day either injected, put in juice, or by pill. Then on the third day preferably when you go to bed insert the misoprostol tablets 800 mill. into your vagina and lay in the bed and don't get up. Take some pain medicine. Hydrocodone is ususally prescribed or codeine. I would take a sleeping pill as well or muscle relaxer if available. Then try to go to sleep and hope you will sleep through it and wake up on your period. More than likely you will wake up cramping maybe extremely bad. You will see A great deal of blood that is normal. You will be cramping and be nauseaus probably. Don't be afraid to get up and use the bathroom after then the pills are disolved. This experience can be very painful for hours and hours. Be sure to get a hold of some pain medicine. The bad thing about planned parenthood is they tell you to take some motrin and don't prescribe any strong meds. A good clinic to use is " A preffered Womens Health Center" If you need the number PM me. They have offices in a around the us and the cost is 450.00.
There are websites that sell the drugs, but you must look up Methotrexate and Misoprostol (Cytotec). I am in the process of trying to find a us op that carries it but www.1drugs.us/drugs/cytotec.html and www.1drugs.us/drugs/methotrexate.html. If you do this on your own then if you run a high fever or completely go through 2 menstrual pads in 30 minutes you need to go to the ER immediately and tell them what you have taken also do NOT be alone during the day you do this. And have your favorite foods and drinks in your house to make you more comfortable. I wish you the best of luck and I do not judge you at all for your decision. You know what is best for you and don't let anyone tell you any different. And not to preach, but right after make an appt and get on a very effective birth control option so you never have to experience this again. Depo Provera works really great for some and can stop your period while your on it. Now, that sounds like a winner!
Blessed Be!
