How Medical Abortion Works
Medical abortion involves taking two medications, mifepristone and misoprostol, in a sequence. The first pill is administered under medical supervision, either during your clinic visit or through a secure telehealth appointment. The second medication is taken at your convenience, typically at home. You are supported by our team throughout the process, with clear instructions and 24/7 access for questions or concerns.
- Step 1: Consultation and eligibility review
- Step 2: Receive and take the first medication
- Step 3: Take the second medication at home
- Step 4: Follow-up to ensure completion and well-being
Our medical abortion process is designed for your comfort, safety, and privacy, whether you attend in person or connect via telehealth. We’ll work with you to determine the best care plan based on your health, gestational age, and preferences.

Yes. While Tennessee law may have restrictions, we offer telehealth appointments for patients who are eligible to be in Virginia or D. C. during their consultation and medication administration. Our staff can help you understand your options and travel requirements.
