<strong>Abortion</strong> pill: what is it?<br />
This is used for termination a pregnancy that has not evolved further than the 10th<br />
week maturation. This mainly consists of two medications- the first one is an antiprogesterone<br />
drug that prohibits the necessary hormone which is utilized for<br />
building the uterine wall that keeps the embryo attached. With this impediment<br />
the hormones are rendered ineffective, the uterine lining is shed <strong>and</strong> the embryo<br />
becomes detached. The secondary pill, a prostagl<strong>and</strong>in analogue causes contractions<br />
in the uterus <strong>and</strong> helps eject the embryo.<br />
You can access abortion pill online or from a pharmacist, however, you would<br />
have to buy two sets of different pills to have the highest chance of safe termination<br />
which is up to 96-97%. These two sets of pills are popularly called Mifepristone <strong>and</strong><br />
Misoprostol. The recommended dosage for them is one tablet of Mifepristone 200 mg<br />
<strong>and</strong> four tablets of Misoprostol (800 mcg) total.<br />
The first medical abortion medication, then called “RU-486” was invented in France<br />
in 1988 <strong>and</strong> was approved by the US FDA in September 2000.
