How Does Safe-T Kit Work?

The action mechanism of Safe-T Kit pills is as follows:

• Mifepristone sheds the endometrial lining by blocking the progesterone hormone that is otherwise essential to prepare the endometrium to supply nutrition for pregnancy growth. In the absence of the hormone, the endometrium breaks and the pregnancy contents separate the uterine wall.
• Misoprostol pills step in to expel the pregnancy from the uterus by causing contractions in the womb as well as widening the cervix to pass the pregnancy tissues effortlessly. The pregnancy exits via heavy bleeding.
