The combination of mifepristone and misoprostol is used to end a pregnancy through ten weeks gestation. This is often referred to as a "medication abortion" or "abortion pill."
Mifepristone blocks a hormone called progesterone, which is crucial for maintaining a pregnancy. Misoprostol then causes contractions of the uterus, leading to the expulsion of the pregnancy.
It's important to note that access to and use of these medications may be restricted in some regions.
For information on safe and legal access to abortion services, consult a healthcare professional or a reputable organization like Planned Parenthood.
