Difference between Corticosteroid and Mifepristone

Corticosteroid vs. Mifepristone

Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones that are produced in the adrenal cortex of vertebrates, as well as the synthetic analogues of these hormones. Mifepristone, also known as RU-486, is a medication typically used in combination with misoprostol, to bring about an abortion.

Similarities between Corticosteroid and Mifepristone

Corticosteroid and Mifepristone have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Contraindication, Cortisol, Cushing's syndrome, Dexamethasone, Glucocorticoid receptor, Hyperglycemia, Mineralocorticoid receptor, Progesterone, Prostaglandin, Prostate cancer, Steroid, Steroid hormone.
