What is the abortion pill?
The abortion pill, also known as medical abortion or medication abortion, is a method of terminating a pregnancy that uses two medications rather than a surgical procedure. In Montreal, the abortion pill is available under the brand name MifeGymiso, approved by Health Canada since 2017 and recommended by the SOGC (Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada).
At the Morgentaler Clinic, the abortion pill is prescribed by our doctors and fully covered by RAMQ for Quebec residents.
How does the MifeGymiso abortion pill work?
MifeGymiso combines two medications taken 24 to 48 hours apart:
1. Mifepristone (1st pill) — Taken at the clinic during your appointment. It blocks progesterone, the hormone necessary to sustain the pregnancy.
2. Misoprostol (2nd medication) — Taken at your home 24 to 48 hours later. It triggers uterine contractions to expel the pregnancy.
The overall effectiveness is over 95% for pregnancies under 9 weeks.

Most women experience cramps comparable to painful or intense periods. We provide you with pain relievers and clear instructions before you leave the clinic.
No. It is recommended that you stay home, at rest, for the 24 hours following the misoprostol dose. Plan a day free of obligations.
No. According to the SOGC, the abortion pill has no impact on future fertility. It is possible to conceive as early as the next cycle.
In less than 5% of cases, the procedure is incomplete. A surgical abortion at our Montreal clinic can then be offered free of charge as a complement.
No. Your medical file is strictly confidential. No information is shared without your consent.
About 2½ hours: arrival, health questionnaire, ultrasound, consultation with the nurse, and taking the first medication in the presence of the doctor.
