How Much Does the Abortion Pill Cost?

If you're facing an unplanned pregnancy and considering your options, you may be wondering: How much does the abortion pill cost?

The cost of the abortion pill (also called a medication abortion) can vary depending on your location, the provider you choose, and whether or not you have insurance coverage. On average, it can cost up to $800, but depending on your specific needs, it may be more or less. 

Before making any decisions, it’s important to gather evidence-based information about the process, potential risks, and available support. At CORE Healthcare for Women, you can meet with a licensed medical professional to talk through your options in a safe and confidential environment—at no cost to you.

What Is the Abortion Pill?

The term “abortion pill” actually refers to a typically two-step medication process used in early pregnancy:

Step 1: Mifepristone

Mifepristone works by blocking progesterone, a hormone needed to maintain pregnancy. Without progesterone, the pregnancy cannot continue. It typically takes up to 48 hours for this medication to take effect. 

Women sometimes report feelings of regret after beginning the abortion process. If you’ve taken mifepristone and are having second thoughts, you may be able to pursue Abortion Pill Reversal. This treatment involves taking progesterone to try to counteract the effects of mifepristone. According to studies, reversal has a 64-68% success rate, with no known increase in birth defects.

Step 2: Misoprostol

After mifepristone, a second medication called misoprostol is taken, usually within 24–48 hours. Misoprostol causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy. 

This stage often involves: 

• Heavy bleeding 

• Blood clots 

• Cramping 

• Tissue passing (sometimes described as “lemon-sized”)

Side effects may include chills, fever, nausea, or vomiting. If symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or fever persist beyond 24 hours after taking misoprostol, it’s important to contact a medical provider.
