Hi,

Mifepristone is a medication used for medical abortion, which is a procedure that terminates a pregnancy. It works by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is necessary for maintaining a pregnancy. While the medication is generally considered safe and effective, there are some potential side effects that you should be aware of.

Common side effects of mifepristone include:

Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Headache
Dizziness
Abdominal pain or cramping
Bleeding or spotting
These side effects are generally mild and go away on their own within a few days. However, you should contact your healthcare provider if you experience severe or persistent symptoms.

It's important to note that mifepristone should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider and as part of a medical abortion procedure. Taking the medication without medical supervision can be dangerous and may lead to complications.

If you have taken mifepristone without medical supervision and are experiencing symptoms, you should seek medical attention immediately. Your healthcare provider can provide appropriate care and support.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
