3. Once approved, you’ll collect your medicines and pay for them at a pharmacy near you. We’ll direct you to an abortion-friendly pharmacy.

4. The doctor provides instructions on how to safely manage your abortion-at-home. You can get in touch with questions or concerns or visit our Q&A section.

Abortion pills (misoprostol) cost around R220 at the pharmacy. Alternatively, the combination of mifepristone & misoprostol costs between R950 and R1250 – please let us know if you prefer this option. There are no other costs involved.

Abortion with pills at home is a safe and effective option if your pregnancy is 10 weeks or less. If you’re more than 10 weeks, see our guide to finding a clinic that can provide in-person care.

Abortion-at-home does not involve seeing a doctor in person. Some people prefer this option because it is private, convenient, and gives you more control. However, others like more contact with a healthcare provider. If you prefer in-person care, please visit a clinic.

Before you begin, please read all of the doctor’s instructions carefully and reach out with questions or concerns – you are an active partner in your own health.
