Will Marijuana Smoking Have An Effect On Abortion?

I already took my second medicine called misoprostol to terminate the pregnancy it s been 6 hours already since I took the pill. I was wondering would smoking marijuana have any affects on the termination. I m a daily smoker but I haven t smoked yet because I m scared It would ruin the termination.

We understand your concern.

Smoking is injurious to health.It is better if you can prepare yourself to quit marijuana smoking.

Cannabis is the active compound in marijuana and it is metabolized in liver.And it is unlikely to interfere with metabolism of misoprostol.Hence it might not play any role in preventing termination.

Hope the answer has helped you.
