Mifepristone Warnings
This information outlines important safety considerations and precautions for the use of mifepristone, commonly prescribed for medical abortion. Please read this carefully and consult your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns.
Potential Risks: Rarely, serious medical issues such as infections and excessive bleeding may occur. These can, in some cases, be life-threatening. It is crucial to consult your doctor and familiarize yourself with the Medication Guide and the Patient Agreement if you are in the United States. This medication is subject to the REMS Program requirements, which you must agree to and follow. If you reside in another country, consult your healthcare provider for specific regulations.
Signs of Serious Infection: Seek immediate medical assistance if you experience symptoms like severe abdominal pain, fainting, a rapid heartbeat, or a fever exceeding 100.4ºF lasting more than four hours. These symptoms may indicate a severe infection, particularly if they arise more than 24 hours after taking misoprostol. Even in the absence of a fever, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or weakness require urgent medical attention.
Vaginal Bleeding: While vaginal bleeding is expected during a medical abortion, it should be monitored closely. If you experience excessive bleeding—defined as soaking through two thick, full-size sanitary pads per hour for two consecutive hours—seek emergency care immediately. This may signal an incomplete abortion requiring prompt medical intervention.
Contraindications: Do not use this medication if you have a confirmed or suspected ectopic pregnancy, undiagnosed adnexal mass, adrenal gland failure, or if you are on long-term corticosteroids. Additionally, those with allergies to prostaglandins, blood disorders, or who are taking blood thinners should avoid this medication. If you have an intrauterine device (IUD), it must be removed before taking mifepristone.
Emergency Instructions: Your healthcare provider should provide clear instructions on who to contact and what actions to take in the event of an emergency, such as severe bleeding or infection. Always carry the Medication Guide if you need to seek emergency care or consult another healthcare professional.
This safety information is crucial for ensuring your well-being during the use of mifepristone. Always communicate with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

Mifepristone Interactions
Mifepristone, also known as Mifeprex, can interact with a variety of medications. It’s important to inform your healthcare provider about all other medications or supplements you are taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, vitamins, and herbal products.
Certain medications should not be taken with mifepristone, as the interaction could be harmful. These include drugs like bepridil, cisapride, Cyclosporine, Dihydroergotamine, dronedarone, ergotamine, Fentanyl, Fluconazole, Ketoconazole, Lovastatin, mesoridazine, Pimozide, piperaquine, Posaconazole, quinidine, saquinavir, Simvastatin, Sirolimus, sparfloxacin, Tacrolimus, terfenadine, and Thioridazine. Your doctor might advise against using mifepristone or adjust your current medications.
For some medications, while their use with mifepristone is not usually recommended, it might be necessary in certain situations. If these drugs are prescribed together, your doctor may adjust doses or frequency. This list includes medications such as alfentanil, Alprazolam, Amiodarone, and many others.
Additionally, using mifepristone with Fluvastatin may increase the risk of certain side effects, but could be deemed necessary by your healthcare provider for your treatment plan.
Other drugs can alter how mifepristone is processed in the body, potentially affecting its efficacy. These include azole antifungals (e.g., Itraconazole), Dexamethasone, Erythromycin, rifamycins (e.g., Rifabutin), St. John's wort, and seizure medications like Carbamazepine and Phenytoin.
Moreover, mifepristone can affect the breakdown of other drugs, which might impact how they work. This includes medications such as cyclosporine, ergot alkaloids, fentanyl, pimozide, quinidine, certain statins (fluvastatin, lovastatin, simvastatin), sirolimus, tacrolimus, and Warfarin.
If you are taking low-dose Aspirin for heart attack or stroke prevention, continue as directed by your doctor, even though aspirin can increase bleeding risk when combined with mifepristone. Always consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
Can mifepristone alone end pregnancy?
Mifepristone alone is not typically sufficient to end a pregnancy effectively. It is usually used in combination with another medication, misoprostol, to increase the efficacy of the medical abortion process. Mifepristone works by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is necessary for pregnancy to continue, while misoprostol induces contractions to expel the pregnancy. It is important for individuals to follow the guidance of a healthcare professional when using these medications.
Will I bleed after taking mifepristone?
It is common for individuals to experience bleeding after taking mifepristone, especially when it is followed by misoprostol as part of a medical abortion process. The bleeding can vary in intensity and duration, and it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider to ensure the process is complete and to address any concerns.
How do I know that mifepristone is working?
The effectiveness of mifepristone is typically assessed by the occurrence of bleeding and cramping, which usually indicates that the medication is working. However, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider to confirm that the process is complete. This may involve an ultrasound or a blood test to measure hormone levels. If there are any concerns or if the expected symptoms do not occur, it is crucial to contact a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
Does mifepristone alone cause birth defects?
Mifepristone alone is not known to cause birth defects. However, it is important to note that mifepristone is typically used in combination with another medication, misoprostol, for medical termination of pregnancy. If the pregnancy continues after taking mifepristone, there is a potential risk of birth defects, particularly if misoprostol is also taken. It is crucial to follow medical guidance and complete the treatment as prescribed.
