Mifepristone Coupons & Mifepristone Savings Card

Rarely, serious medical problems can occur when a pregnancy ends, including sometimes fatal infections and bleeding. Read the Medication Guide, read and sign the Patient Agreement, and consult your doctor if you have any questions. To receive mifepristone in the United States, you must understand, agree to, and carefully follow the requirements of the REMS Program for this medication. If you live in Canada or any other country, consult your doctor and pharmacist for your country's regulations. Your doctor must give you clear instructions about who to call and what to do in case of an emergency (such as severe bleeding, infection). If you go to the emergency room or visit another health care professional, show them the Medication Guide so they know you are trying to end your pregnancy. Get medical help right away if you experience symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, fainting, fast heartbeat, fever lasting more than 4 hours. You may have a very serious infection even if you do not have a fever. Get medical help right away if you have abdominal pain or feel sick (for example, if you have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness) more than 24 hours after taking the second drug (misoprostol), even if you do not have a fever. Also get medical help right away if you have continued heavy bleeding, which may be a sign the pregnancy has not ended or other serious medical problem. You may need surgery or other medical care.

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, or dizziness may occur. If these effects last longer than the first 24 hours after taking the second drug (misoprostol), get medical help right away because they can be signs of a serious medical problem. Bleeding and cramping are expected during this treatment. Usually, the symptoms mean the drugs are working. However, sometimes you can have cramps and bleeding and still be pregnant. You must return for all of your follow-up visits with your doctor. Nausea and cramping may get worse in the 24 hours after you take the second drug (misoprostol). Your doctor may direct you to take other medication to help with these symptoms. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Bleeding and spotting may last up to 30 days and may be much heavier than a normal period. In very few cases, this bleeding will need to be stopped by surgery. Get medical help right away if you bleed enough to soak through 2 thick, full-size sanitary pads each hour for 2 hours in a row, or if you are concerned about heavy bleeding. Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: fever of 100.4 degrees F (38 degrees C) or higher, fainting, fast heartbeat, stomach/abdominal pain or tenderness. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
