How Glenpristone Products work
Mifepristone + Misoprostol is a combination of two medicines: Mifepristone + Misoprostol1 and Mifepristone + Misoprostol2, which causes abortion. Mifepristone + Misoprostol1 blocks the effects of progesterone, a natural female hormone that is needed for the pregnancy to sustain. Without this hormone, the lining of the uterus (womb) breaks down as it does during a menstrual period and stops the growth of the pregnancy. Mifepristone + Misoprostol2 increases contractions of the uterus to cause abortion.
