Mifeprex 200mg

Mifeprex drug contains inactive substances, including microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, corn starch, colloidal silica anhydrous, and it is yellow.

Description of Mifeprex

Mifeprex should be used with Misoprostol for effective results. First, take Mifeprex, and then wait for 2 to 3 days before taking four pills of Misoprostol (each 200 mg). Do not swallow chew, crush, or break Misoprostol pills. Instead, place them under your tongue and let them melt away.

Misoprostol causes the uterine walls to contract, thus pushing out the fetus. Since the fetus is already detached from the wall, it gets out quickly. During the process, heavy bleeding and cramping occur. It may last for hours and, rarely, days.   

Dosages and administrations with Mifeprex

A medical professional should administer this medication. But self-administration is sometimes allowed.

Mifeprex can terminate a pregnancy. The standard dosage is a single pill – 200mg with a glass of water, preferably on an empty stomach. This pill should be taken within 9 weeks of pregnancy – as per the first day of amenorrhea in a 28-day cycle where ovulation occurs at mid-cycle.

Before administering this drug, the doctors should be sure that you are pregnant, as well as know the age of the pregnancy. Ultra-sonogram (USG) scan is used to determine the duration of pregnancy. Again, ectopic pregnancy must be ruled out.

Three days after consuming, Mifeprex should follow the consumption of Misoprostol 800mcg. If the abortion does not occur, the second dose of Misoprostol 400mcg should be orally administered.

The patient is advised to go for a checkup after 7 to 14 days. This is to confirm if the fetus was fully expelled. If the fetus was not expelled, there are high chances of fetal malformation. So a medical practitioner may take a USG scan or perform a clinical examination to rule out the presence of the fetus. If the fetus is present, it should be removed by surgical means.  

For patients using Mifeprex tablets

All patients using Mifeprex must be cautious. They only should get this drug under the instructions of a doctor, which requires 3 visits:

• First, confirming pregnancy and prescription of Mifeprex tablet
• Second, prescription of Misoprostol pills. This should be two days after the first visit
• Lastly, to confirm the pregnancy status. This is done after two weeks, and it may include carrying out an ultrasound.

The typical sign that Mifeprex is working is vaginal bleeding. If there is little bleeding, consult your doctor. In case any tissues remain within the uterus after taking Mifeprex, doctors may remove them through the cervix. 

Tell your doctor in case you have an intrauterine device; it must be removed before taking the drug.

Warning and precautions during treatment with Mifeprex

Patients with hepatic failure, renal failure, and malnutrition are advised against taking Mifeprex. Again, any consumption of this drug must be under the supervision of a certified gynecologist.

The effectiveness and safety of Mifeprex in women with chronic diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, liver dysfunction, insulin-dependent diabetes, respiratory or kidney disease, severe anemia, and heavy smoking is not known because no data exists. Similarly, women above 35 years of age who smoke need treatment with great caution.

If abortion is not successful, the fetus is at risk of developmental abnormalities according to studies carried out on animals, and evidence from human cases. As such, Patients should be cautious of the effects of Mifeprex. They should know the reason for using these drugs and the importance of gynecologists in this matter.

Always use contraceptives; there is a high chance that pregnancy might occur soon after terminating a pregnancy.

Some women might experience decreased red blood cell count, hematocrit, and hemoglobin concentration.  This is an effect of vaginal bleeding. 

Comments on using Mifeprex and Misoprostol

Gastrointestinal symptoms and cramps may occur immediately after taking Misoprostol. Find drugs that can alleviate such symptoms. 

Chances to terminate a pregnancy may be lower in some cases, especially when Mifeprex is administered within a day or after two days.

Misoprostol initiates abortion between 2 and 24 hours. So the patient must be in a secure place, probably under the care of someone.  

Before the administration of Mifeprex and Misoprostol, the doctor considers conception date as the last menstrual period.

What are the drug interactions?

Few studies have been conducted to show drug interaction, so nothing is definite yet. However, possibilities exist that certain medications and substances such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, erythromycin, and grapefruit could inhibit the metabolism of Mifeprex. Similarly, dexamethasone, rifampicin, and certain anticonvulsants may induce Mifeprex metabolism.

By contrast, Misoprostol does not interfere with the effects of aspirin; i.e., it does not affect the absorption and antiplatelet effects of aspirin. Also, studies show that Misoprostol does not have any implications on several NSAIDs (ibuprofen, diclofenac, piroxicam, aspirin, naproxen, or indomethacin).

Patients on Mifeprex should not take Antacids containing magnesium, as it may worsen diarrhea caused by Misoprostol.
