Abortions pills named Mifepristone and Misoprostol are two medications that are used to end an intrauterine pregnancy (where the embryo is attached inside the uterus.

It is a progesterone blocking drug which prohibits the action of the hormone progesterone (which is important for pregnancy continuation). While the second drug, Misoprostol is to be taken in four pill dosages each weighing 200 mcg after an interval of 24-48 hours. Both the medications are also presented in an MTP Kit and in recommended dosage.
