What does medical abortion involve?
The medical pregnancy termination involves two
different drugs called Mifepristone(taken on the
first day) and Misoprostol pills(taken after
24-48 hours).

The Mifepristone medication is an
anti-progesterone agent. It is responsible for
stopping the hormone progesterone which is
responsible for keeping the uterine lining that
supports the embryo, intact. With this hormone
blocked, the uterine lining is broken down and
the embryo is separated. Mifepristone also causes
the cervix to be softened and widened, therefore
it makes it easier for the detached pregnancy
parts to be expelled. Meanwhile Misoprostol
pills are ecbolic in nature. They are
prostaglandin analogue. After entering into the
system, they cause contractions in the uterus,
which in turn assists in removing all detached
conception parts from the uterus.

hours after taking the Misoprostol pills, others

just as fine. There are others, who take more
than 6 hours for the procedure to start. Ifit is
taking too long, you will have to take 2 more
Misoprostol pills in the same manner to start up
