Medications

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous Oxide is a mild gas which is inhaled to give relaxation and a feeling of well-being. You may choose to use this medication during the procedure.

  • It allows you to breathe more oxygen than you normally can from the air, while you enjoy a remarkable depth of relaxation.
  • It virtually eliminates the fear, nervousness, and tension sometimes associated with abortion procedures.
  • It drastically minimizes any feelings of discomfort.
  • It usually induces a feeling of warmth and security as well as a pleasant "floaty" sensation.
  • It permits needed injections of local anesthetic with little or no discomfort and with more profound results in most instances.
  • It permits you to leave the clinic feeling rested and alert.
  • It is not general anesthesia because you are always awake, can follow directions, and you are in full control of your own behavior.

Sublimaze

You may also receive an injection of Sublimaze - a pain medication which aids in relaxation and further controls any discomfort you experience. You will receive the medication just prior to your procedure. It begins to take effect within seconds, and a pleasant, relaxing, slightly drowsy feeling lasts about 30 minutes. By the time you leave the clinic, the effect of the Sublimaze will wear off. However, you should not drive a motor vehicle, nor operate any machinery for a minimum of two hours.

Versed

You may also receive an injection of VersedVersed is a tranquilizing agent that will increase the calming effect of all the medications. It will heighten your sense of relaxation and may make you feel very drowsy. You should not drive or operate machinery for a minimum of 4 hours.
