RU486 Recognize the importance

RU486 pills are a boon for those women who want to get rid of forced or unwanted pregnancy. They have a success rate around 95% to 98%.

RU486 Know the Mechanism

The medicine brings about drop in levels of the hormone progesterone which is essential for continuity of pregnancy. In the absence of this hormone and increased activity of prostaglandin hormone, the endometrium becomes softer and begins to separate from the uterus. It is expelled in the process of uterine contractions. This results in termination of pregnancy.

RU486 - Mode of administration

This medicine effectively terminates pregnancy within 63 days of gestation period. Initially 3 pills containing 200mg of Mifepristone (Total 600mg) are consumed, under medical supervision. After 2-3 days, if the abortion is not successful, 2 pills containing 200mcg of misoprostol each are to be taken. Abortion occurs within 12 hours.
