Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Drug to induce periods and to terminate pregnancy are entirely different, and work for the appropriate condition.
The abortion drug will not work if there is no pregnancy and the period inducing drugs will not act in pregnancy.
Therefore, it is must to confirm pregnancy before taking any medicine.
If you cannot go for urine test, then you can go for blood beta hCG levels, which will also confirm pregnancy.
