Is there another abortion medication pill that I can take besides RU486?

Yes. There are actually two pills that have been studied in medical literature. The first is Methotrexate and the second is Tamoxifen. Methotrexate has been used extensively since the late 1980’s in combination with Misoprostol to terminate pregnancies between 3 and 9 weeks gestation. This combination is 90 to 94 percent effective in causing termination of pregnancy. Tamoxifen has been used since the early 1990’s to terminate pregnancies from 3 to 9 weeks gestation. Its success rate is equivalent to Methotrexate. Both medications are very safe and efficient for terminating early pregnancies and can be used as a substitute or if the patient is allergic to RU486.
