Mifepristone blocks the effects of progesterone, a natural female hormone which is needed for the pregnancy to sustain.

Mifepristone is used in medical abortion. it is used in the treatment of Cushing’s syndrome and type 2 diabetes.

Misoprostol increases contractions of the uterus to cause abortion. It can also prevent post-delivery bleeding due to poor contraction of the uterus. Misoprostol is used in medical abortion and post-delivery bleeding. Misoprostol reduces stomach acid and helps protect the stomach from damage that can be caused by taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), celecoxib, diclofenac, indomethacin, meloxicam, and others. Misoprostol is used to prevent stomach ulcers during treatment with aspirin or an NSAID.
