What Is a Medical Abortion?

A medical abortion — commonly called the abortion pill — is a non-surgical method that uses two FDA-approved medications to end an early pregnancy. At Bread & Roses, we use the mifepristone and misoprostol protocol. Mifepristone blocks progesterone, the hormone required to sustain pregnancy. Misoprostol, taken 24–48 hours later, causes the uterus to expel the pregnancy. When taken within the first eight weeks of pregnancy, this protocol achieves a 97% success rate. No surgical instruments are used, and the second medication is taken at home, allowing privacy and comfort.

Who Is Eligible for the Abortion Pill in Tampa?

Eligibility depends on gestational age and overall health. Florida law restricts abortion to six weeks LMP, so timing is critical. At your appointment, our clinical team performs an ultrasound to confirm gestational age and rule out ectopic pregnancy — a condition that requires different treatment and makes medical abortion unsafe. Patients must also be able to follow up reliably after taking the medications. Our staff reviews your full health history before prescribing to confirm this option is appropriate for you. Call 813-977-6176 as soon as possible if you believe you may qualify.

How the Medical Abortion Process Works at Our Tampa Clinic

Florida's 24-hour mandatory waiting period means two in-person visits are required by law. Here is what to expect at Bread & Roses.

Step 1 — Initial Consultation and Ultrasound

On your first visit, a certified sonographer performs a transvaginal or abdominal ultrasound to confirm gestational age and the location of the pregnancy. A patient advocate meets with you one-on-one to review your options, answer questions, and provide state-required counseling. This visit fulfills the mandatory 24-hour waiting period. You must return at least 24 hours later for the medication.

Step 2 — Mifepristone at the Clinic

On your second visit — no sooner than 24 hours after the first — you take an oral dose of mifepristone (Mifeprex) in the clinic under medical supervision. This blocks the progesterone needed to sustain the pregnancy. Most patients feel no immediate effects. Before you leave, our team gives you detailed written instructions for the next step and an emergency contact number.

Step 3 — Misoprostol at Home

Twenty-four to forty-eight hours after taking mifepristone, you take misoprostol at home — dissolved buccally (between cheek and gum) or sublingually (under the tongue). Cramping and bleeding typically begin within one to four hours. This is the body expelling the pregnancy. Pain management guidance is provided at the clinic before you leave.

Step 4 — Follow-Up Confirmation

A follow-up appointment or check-in with our clinical team confirms the abortion is complete. If bleeding or cramping is unusually heavy, or you develop a fever above 101°F lasting more than 24 hours, contact our clinic immediately at 813-977-6176 . Incomplete abortion is rare but treatable, and our team is available to assist.

Florida Abortion Law: What Tampa Patients Need to Know

Florida currently restricts abortion to six weeks LMP. Many women are unaware they are pregnant at six weeks — which makes prompt action essential. Two in-person visits to our Tampa clinic at least 24 hours apart are required by law. Limited exceptions exist for rape, incest, domestic violence, or human trafficking with supporting documentation. Our staff can walk you through what documentation may apply to your situation. Call 813-977-6176 now — the earlier you call, the more options may be available to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How early can I get a medical abortion at your Tampa clinic?

    Medical abortion is available up to six weeks LMP under current Florida law. Our team confirms gestational age via ultrasound at your first appointment. Call 813-977-6176 immediately if you believe you may be within the eligible window — delays can affect eligibility.

  • Is the abortion pill the same as emergency contraception?

    No. The abortion pill (mifepristone and misoprostol) terminates an existing pregnancy and is taken under medical supervision. Emergency contraception prevents pregnancy before implantation and is available over the counter. They work differently and are used at different stages.

  • How much does a medical abortion cost at Bread & Roses?

    Cost varies based on gestational age and any required labs or ultrasound. Call 813-977-6176 for current pricing. Our patient advocates can also discuss financial assistance options available through the National Abortion Federation hardship fund.

  • Do I need a referral or insurance to be seen?

    No referral is required. Call 813-977-6176 or visit our Tampa clinic at 2010 E Fletcher Ave to schedule directly. Our team can discuss insurance coverage and self-pay options during your consultation.

  • What happens if the medical abortion is incomplete?

    Incomplete abortion is rare with mifepristone and misoprostol. If it occurs, our clinical team will evaluate whether a repeat dose of misoprostol or a surgical procedure is needed. Follow-up care is included, and the team is reachable by phone throughout your recovery.
