pill blocks the hormone <strong>progesterone<\/strong>, which is essential for pregnancy continuation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Misoprostol<\/strong>: Taken 24\u201348 hours after Mifepristone, it induces uterine contractions to expel pregnancy tissue.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, these medicines complete a <strong>medical abortion<\/strong> without surgical intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr
