Thus, Pencrofton, is an analog of Mifepristone and Mifegin. This drug is produced in Russia, unlike Mifegin (France). That is why, Pencrofton, along with Mifepristone, is the most affordable of such medicines.
The Chinese analogue of Mifepristone is Mitholian. This drug is not so accessible, and there are far from every pharmacy.
How are these drugs taken?
The admission of medications leading to the termination of pregnancy should be carried out exclusively in medical institutions, under the supervision of doctors.
Such a drug as Mifepristone, is used together with misoprostol. So, the first day immediately take 3 tablets Mifepristone. If the discharge did not follow and rejection of the fetus did not occur, and with ultrasound pregnancy is still determined, take 2 tablets of Misoprostol. However, the dosage is usually determined by the doctor who is carrying out the procedure for abortion. A second examination takes place 14 days after the procedure.
