abortion pill (mifepristone)

The abortion pill, which typically includes mifepristone, is a medication used to end early pregnancy. Mifepristone works by blocking progesterone, a hormone necessary for maintaining pregnancy, causing the pregnancy to stop developing. It is usually followed by misoprostol, which induces contractions and expels the pregnancy from the uterus. This medication regimen is safe and effective when administered under medical supervision within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for proper guidance, support, and follow-up care during this process.
