Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Misoprostol is a medication used to induce abortions. For abortions it must be used with mifepristone or methotrexate.
It causes abortion by means of vaginal bleeding. Some if them also experience cramps.
Once all the products of uterus comes out, bleeding and pain stops.
