The concept of medication abortion revolves around the use of pills to safely and effectively end an early pregnancy. It primarily employs two drugs: Mifepristone and Misoprostol. The process begins with the intake of Mifepristone, which blocks the hormone progesterone. This blockage is crucial as progesterone is necessary for maintaining the pregnancy; its absence leads to the breakdown of the uterine lining, halting the pregnancy's progression. Subsequently, Misoprostol is taken, typically after a gap of one to two days. This medication causes the uterus to contract, expelling its contents, thereby completing the abortion process. This method is highly regarded for its efficacy, safety, and the convenience of being a non-surgical alternative for ending an early pregnancy.
