I can't swallow pills as i'm afraid. i either crush them or dissolve it in water before consuming it. will abortion pills be effective that way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Some medications are engineered to be absorbed slowly, crushing the pill would change this. Ask your pharmacist about the particular medication and they will give you the answer.
