About MIFEPRISTONE(200MG)
Introduction
Mifepristone 200mg is a synthetic steroid medication that blocks the action of progesterone, a hormone essential for pregnancy continuation. It is primarily used in medical termination of early pregnancy and certain other gynecological conditions. This medicine is available as a tablet and must be used only under proper medical supervision.
Uses
Medical termination of early intrauterine pregnancy (up to 63 days of gestation) when used in combination with another medicine called misoprostol. Management of early pregnancy loss (miscarriage). Induction of labor in cases of fetal death. Emergency contraception in some protocols. Treatment of uterine fibroids in certain cases.
Benefits
Provides a non-surgical option for early pregnancy termination when used as per medical protocol. Offers a private and less invasive alternative to surgical procedures. Allows women to manage the process in a more comfortable setting when medically appropriate. Effective when used correctly under medical supervision with success rates of approximately 95-98% for early pregnancy termination.
Side effects
Common side effects include vaginal bleeding or spotting, abdominal cramping or pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, and fatigue. Some women may experience fever, chills, or weakness. Most side effects are temporary and expected as part of the process. However, heavy bleeding, severe pain, prolonged fever, or signs of infection require immediate medical attention. Always contact your healthcare provider if you have concerns.
How to use
Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken as a single dose orally with water. For medical termination of pregnancy, it is followed by another medicine (misoprostol) after 24-48 hours. Can be taken with or without food. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet. A follow-up visit to your doctor is essential to confirm complete termination. Never use this medicine without proper medical guidance and supervision.
How it works
Mifepristone works by blocking progesterone receptors in the body. Progesterone is a hormone necessary for maintaining pregnancy. By blocking its action, mifepristone causes the lining of the uterus to break down, stops the pregnancy from growing, and softens and opens the cervix. When combined with misoprostol, it causes uterine contractions that help expel the pregnancy tissue from the uterus.
Safety advice
Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: This medicine terminates pregnancy and should not be used if you wish to continue pregnancy. Avoid breastfeeding during treatment. Alcohol: Avoid alcohol as it may worsen side effects like dizziness and nausea. Driving: May cause dizziness or weakness; avoid driving if affected. Not suitable for: Women with ectopic pregnancy, bleeding disorders, chronic adrenal failure, long-term steroid therapy, or IUD in place. Kidney/Liver: Use with caution in liver or kidney disease. Medical supervision is mandatory. Emergency medical care should be accessible. Confirm pregnancy termination through follow-up examination.
