Mifepristone+misoprostol belongs to a group of gynaecological medications called ‘Abortifacient’ used for the medical termination of the pregnancy before 63 days after the first day of the last menses period. Mifepristone+misoprostol also works in the second trimester of pregnancy.

Mifepristone+misoprostol contains two medicines, namely: Mifepristone and Misoprostol. Mifepristone is an anti-hormone (anti-progestogen) that blocks the effects of the progesterone hormone required in women to continue the pregnancy. On the other hand, Misoprostol is a prostaglandin that increases the womb’s (uterus) contraction and dilates the cervix, thereby expelling the pregnancy. Thus, Mifepristone+misoprostol together cause termination of pregnancy and must be used one after the other for medical abortion.
