Prior to taking medication abortion, clients should know how to administer the medication, what the side effects are, how to identify the signs of complications, and when to seek emergency care[2].

Do ensure that clients have the following before they take medication abortion:

• Sanitary pads and liners.
• Pain medication and / or anti-nauseants (over-the-counter or prescriptions).
• Access to emergency care.
• Support for childcare, transportation, and groceries.
