In exceptional cases, medical abortion can be carried out after 7 weeks (maximum 9 weeks of pregnancy).
As the pregnancy grows every day, the unpleasant side effects, especially the heavy bleeding during expulsion and the pain and cramps can increase significantly with increasing pregnancy duration. As a method for abortion after 7 weeks, we therefore recommend a surgical procedure.
In Switzerland, medical abortion with Mifegyne® is only permitted as a statutory benefit until the 49th day after the beginning of the last period (7 weeks). In the EU, Mifegyne® is approved until the 63rd day (9 weeks).
