How does Medabon® work?
A woman first takes a mifepristone pill, which—when swallowed early in pregnancy—makes it difficult for the endometrial lining to sustain a growing embryo. This facilitates abortion. Misoprostol tablets, inserted into the vagina or placed under the tongue (known as sublingual administration) a few days after taking mifepristone, makes the uterus contract and expel its contents, ending the pregnancy.
