Hello!
After a medical abortion, doctors usually prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection. If you have been given prophylactic antibiotics before the procedure and aseptic techniques were maintained during the procedure, you may not need to take antibiotics after the abortion. A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled after 7-14 days to ensure your health.
