Question
Hi im Allan 17 years old from the philippines,my girlfriend is 6 weeks pregnant,we know about this by using PT kit. Abortion here in the philippines is illegal thats why we are desperate fot it. We agreed to each other that she will going to have an abortion because were both young and were both studying, our question is can we use methergine for abortion and how can we sure if its effective and what is the right dose of it? please help us

Answer
Hi Allan,
Methergin is not a good idea. It just will not cause abortion.
Try to get misoprostol, cytotec or artrotec and look at the site
