abortion pill

The abortion pill is a medication used to safely end a pregnancy within the first 10 weeks. It typically involves two medicines: mifepristone, which blocks the hormone progesterone necessary for pregnancy, and misoprostol, which causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue. The process usually begins after consulting a healthcare provider and is performed at home or in a medical setting. It is effective and safe when used correctly but can have side effects like cramping, bleeding, or nausea. It’s important to receive proper medical guidance before using the pill.
