What is a drug abortion?

Mifepristone and misoprostol are commonly used drugs for medical abortion.

Mifepristone is a progesterone receptor antagonist that binds to progesterone receptors and blocks the action of progesterone, causing the endometrium to lose progesterone support, causing decidual degeneration, necrosis, and embryonic development to stop. Misoprostol can cause strong uterine contractions and promote the expulsion of pregnant materials.

Medical abortion has strict indications and contraindications, and must be performed under the guidance of a doctor. Before medical abortion, doctors will ask for a detailed medical history and conduct relevant examinations to ensure that the patient is suitable for medical abortion.
