The indications, contraindications and conditions necessary for the successful and safe performance of non-surgical abortion are presented. The mechanisms of action of drugs, their effectiveness, as well as possible side effects and complications are presented. The advantages of medical abortion, including high efficiency, low risk of complications, no risk associated with anesthesia, the possibility of avoiding surgery, the possibility of outpatient use, are demonstrated.
