Mifepristone is used primarily to terminate an early pregnancy up to 70 days by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is essential to sustain pregnancy. It is taken orally, often in combination with Misoprostol, to induce a medical abortion.

⚕️ What Mifepristone Does

• It blocks progesterone, causing the uterine lining to break down and stopping pregnancy growth.
• Effects usually begin within 24-48 hours, leading to uterine bleeding as part of the abortion process.
• It may also be used as emergency contraception or for other medical conditions under specialist guidance.

⚠️ Important Considerations

• Medical abortion with mifepristone can cause side effects like nausea, cramps, bleeding, and infection.
• Close follow-up with a gynecologist is essential to confirm complete abortion and manage complications.
• Do not stop the medication without medical advice to avoid incomplete abortion.

Consult a gynecologist for personalized advice and safe use of mifepristone.
