What Is Medical Termination of Pregnancy?
Medical termination of pregnancy uses a combination of two medications to end an early pregnancy. In Australia, the approved medication is MS-2 Step, which contains mifepristone and misoprostol. It is a TGA-approved, non-surgical option available up to 9 weeks (63 days) of gestation.

Mifepristone

Mifepristone is taken first. This medication blocks the hormone progesterone, which is needed for the pregnancy to continue developing.

01

Misoprostol

Misoprostol is taken 36 to 48 hours later. This causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue.

02

Expected symptoms

Cramping and bleeding are expected after the misoprostol, similar to a heavy period or early miscarriage. Most of the process takes place at home after the initial clinical assessment and prescription.

03

Follow-up

A follow-up appointment 14 to 21 days later confirms the termination is complete.

Your privacy is protected at every step. All consultations, prescriptions, and follow-up care are conducted with complete confidentiality. Your records are private and will never be shared without your consent.

Non-Judgemental Care

Our GPs provide respectful, professional care without judgement. Whatever your circumstances, you will be treated with dignity and compassion throughout every step of the process.

Experienced GP-Led Assessment

Our GPs are trained to provide medical termination of pregnancy consultations and will ensure you receive thorough, accurate clinical assessment and fully informed consent before any medication is prescribed.

Full Information and Support

We provide clear written and verbal information about the process, what to expect, how to take the medications, when to seek further care, and all available options – so you can make a fully informed decision.

Ongoing Care and Follow-Up

A follow-up consultation is arranged after your medical termination to confirm that the process is complete and to support your ongoing health and wellbeing, including contraceptive advice if wanted.

What to Expect – The MTOP Process at Our Clinic

Initial consultation

Book a confidential consultation with your GP. Your doctor will confirm the pregnancy, assess gestational age, discuss all available options with you, and answer every question you have. An ultrasound is required to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy and determine gestational age before medication can be prescribed. Your GP will arrange this if not already done.

01

Informed consent and prescription

If you decide to proceed with a medical termination, your GP will provide full written and verbal information about the medications, what to expect, potential side effects, and when to seek urgent medical care. Your fully informed consent is obtained before any prescription is issued.

02

Taking the medications

You will take the first tablet, mifepristone, at the clinic or as directed by your GP. The second set of tablets, misoprostol, are taken at home 36 to 48 hours later. You will be given detailed written instructions for each step.

03

At home

Cramping and bleeding typically begin within a few hours of taking the misoprostol. You should have sanitary pads, pain relief as prescribed, and ideally a support person with you. Your GP will advise you on what symptoms are expected and what to do if you have concerns.

04

Follow-up appointment

A follow-up appointment is required 14 to 21 days after taking the mifepristone to confirm the termination is complete, check your wellbeing, and discuss ongoing contraception and support if needed.
