What is a medical abortion (abortion pills) in Dubai?

Abortion is safe and common - 1 in 3 women will have an abortion in their lifetime.

A medical abortion uses medication to end a pregnancy. It is the safest treatment option up to 9 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy for most people. Cytotec pills for sale in Dubai.

The treatment involves taking two types of medicine at two different times to end a pregnancy.

  • The first medication, mifepristone, stops the pregnancy from growing by blocking the hormone progesterone, and causes separation of the pregnancy from the wall of the womb.
  • The second medication, misoprostol, causes the softening and opening of the cervix (neck of the womb) and contractions of the womb so that the pregnancy passes through the vagina. You will experience cramping and bleeding similar to a miscarriage.

Why is "At Home Abortion" so Important?
