The first stage: 200 mg of Mifepristone is given orally with water (not less than 150ml) in the presence of the doctor. Some women may start bleeding and feeling abdominal pain in 24-48 hours after taking the pill.
Mifepristone acts by blocking progesterone - the key hormone to maintain pregnancy. The action of Mefipristone discontniues the pregnancy development. Besides, Mefipristone increases cells sensibility to prostanglandines (in particular to Misoprostol).

Misoprostol is given 36-48 hours after taking Mifepristone. Dosage: if you are pregnant 8 weeks or less 4 pills 200mcg/pill, if you are over 8 weeks follow the instructions. It is recommended to take pills sublingually with the following interval: the second and the third pills should be taken in 30 minutes after taking the first pill.

Misoprostole stimulates uterine contractility, that is accompanied with cramping pain and bleeding, thus the uterus gets rid of the ovum. Spasmolytics, such as Nospa, can be taken to ease the pain. Non-steroid anti-inflammatory medications, such as Aspirin, Diclofenac, Ibuprophen, Ketanov, Tempalgin, Paracetamol is prohibited due to its blocking action of Misoprostol!!!

After taking Mifepristone vaginal bleeding will start in the following 3-5 days. It may last for 12-14 days.

Ultrasound should be made in 7-10 days after taking of Misoprostol.
