Escapelle/Postinor, also known as emergency contraception, is a pill that can be taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex to help prevent pregnancy. It works by delaying or preventing ovulation (the release of an egg) or by altering the cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach the egg.
On the other hand, an abortion pill, also known as medical abortion or medication abortion, is used to terminate an early pregnancy.
It involves taking a combination of medications prescribed by a healthcare professional.
These medications work together to stop the pregnancy from developing and help the body pass the pregnancy tissue.
It is important to note that the use of an abortion pill should be done under the guidance and supervision of a healthcare professional, as it requires careful monitoring and follow-up care, while Escapelle/Postinor is available over-the-counter, without the need for a prescription.
