What Is Medical Abortion?
Medical abortion is a non-surgical option to end a pregnancy, typically up to 10 weeks gestation. It uses two medications: mifepristone and misoprostol. Mifepristone blocks progesterone (a hormone needed for pregnancy continuity), and misoprostol induces uterine contractions to complete the process. This approach is medically endorsed when followed under clinician guidance.

Educational platforms such as private emma emphasize the importance of understanding eligibility, correct usage, and follow-up care before beginning a medical abortion.
