Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
First I will start by stating that any attempts to end a pregnancy using medications should be done in conjunction with a doctor. There needs to be a full review of how many weeks she is (which can be variable) because these medications only work well when given in very early pregnancy.
That being said, yes there are medications that are used for your situation. One of them is called Misoprostol. In these situations it can be placed vaginally in multiple doses and for pregnancies at less than 9 weeks, its success rate approaches 90%.
Again, I will implore you to talk to a doctor to make sure this is the safest option. The decision may be affected by such things as prior Cesarean Sections and any concern regarding the potential for an ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy in a tube).
Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please remember to ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit! Good luck!
