Mifepristone and Misoprostol are two different abortion drugs used in combination to end a pregnancy during its early stages i.e., up to 12 weeks. Even though Mifepristone and Misoprostol are used together, they perform different functions. Mifepristone is a hormone-blocking medicine that breaks the uterus lining by stopping the chemical reaction of the pregnancy hormone progesterone. This creates an artificial miscarriage-like situation inside the womb. Then, when Mifepristone is taken after 24 to 48 hours it creates contractions in the uterus and expels the pregnancy tissues out of the body. This step completes abortion.
