Mifipristone: for many years women induced early miscarriages with herbs such as black cohosh. High doses of progesterone can also cause this . Most practitioners now use the synthetic mifepristone also known as RU486. It still requires a prescription

Abortifacients : You are looking for a class of drugs called abortifacients. I believe the first one was RU-486. Speak to your OB about it.
