Mifepristone is a progesterone antagonist, blocking the action of progesterone, a hormone essential for pregnancy maintenance. Misoprostol is a prostaglandin analog, which softens the cervix and causes uterine contractions, leading to expulsion of the pregnancy. The combination of these drugs effectively terminates a pregnancy.
Store mifepristone and misoprostol at room temperature, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Dosage and administration will vary depending on the indication and individual patient factors. It is crucial to follow the doctor's instructions precisely.
