Antiprogestin

Antiprogestin is a type of medication that blocks or counteracts the effects of progesterone, a hormone essential for maintaining pregnancy and regulating the menstrual cycle. By inhibiting progesterone, antiprogestins can be used to terminate early pregnancies or regulate certain menstrual issues. They work by binding to progesterone receptors, preventing the hormone from exerting its effects on reproductive tissues. These drugs are utilized in medical abortion protocols under medical supervision and are also studied for other gynecological conditions. Their use should always be overseen by healthcare professionals to ensure safety and appropriate application.
