A member asked:

Will the medicine artotec help me with achieve my medical abortion ? i'm in a country where abortions are not allowed and i was told artotec will work

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Although arthrotec (diclofenac and misoprostol) does contain a medication that is used in medical abortions, it is used in combination with an anti-inflammatory. I am not aware that arthrotec (diclofenac and misoprostol) has been tested for the purpose of inducing abortion and would not be advisable to try yourself.
