Is there any concern about birth defects in case pregnancy is not terminated?
A very small percentage of pregnancies (generally less than 1 percent) may continue after administration of Medabon®. In such cases, if a woman changes her mind about her abortion, or in the rare instance that the clinician fails to diagnose an ongoing pregnancy at a follow-up visit, the pregnancy may continue to term. Although it is possible that either drug could cause deformities, there is no clear evidence.16,17 Women who use Medabon® should be counseled that abortion with vacuum aspiration is recommended if their medical abortion does not work.
