HOW L PILL KIT TABLET WORKS
Step 1: Taking Mifepristone
The first step in using the L Pill Kit is taking Mifepristone. This medication is typically taken orally, with or without food. Mifepristone works by blocking progesterone, causing the lining of the uterus to break down, and preventing the pregnancy from continuing to develop.
Step 2: Taking Misoprostol
A day or two after taking Mifepristone, it is time to take Misoprostol. This medication can be taken orally or inserted vaginally. Misoprostol causes the uterus to contract, leading to cramping and bleeding as the pregnancy is expelled. It is important to note that the intensity and duration of cramping and bleeding can vary from person to person.
