Mifepristone Tablets

Mifepristone tablets are a commonly used drug for terminating pregnancy, commonly known as abortion drugs. Women who become pregnant unexpectedly or do not want to continue the pregnancy within 49 days can choose medical abortion as a method of termination. Bleeding after taking mifepristone tablets is normal, and it is necessary to continue taking the remaining medication. If bleeding is excessive, consult a doctor promptly. It is best to use abortion drugs under the guidance of a doctor in a hospital, and patients should not self-medicate.

What to Do If Bleeding Occurs After Taking Mifepristone Tablets

Bleeding after taking mifepristone tablets is a normal phenomenon caused by the expulsion of pregnancy tissue, and there is no need to worry. If bleeding is excessive, consult a doctor or seek medical treatment promptly. Generally, mifepristone tablets are used in combination with misoprostol to achieve the effect of medical abortion. After bleeding occurs after taking mifepristone tablets, it is necessary to continue taking the remaining medication. Misoprostol should be taken in the hospital, and generally, the gestational sac will be expelled within eight hours after taking the medication.

Dosage and Administration

Healthy early pregnant women who have stopped menstruating for ≤49 days should take 25mg to 50mg (1 to 2 tablets) of mifepristone tablets orally twice a day for 2 to 3 days after fasting or eating for 2 hours, with a total dose of 150mg (6 tablets). Food should be avoided for two hours after each medication. On the third to fourth day, 600μg (200μg/tablet × 3 tablets) of misoprostol should be taken orally in the morning or one tablet of carboprost methyl ester suppository (1mg) should be placed in the posterior fornix of the vagina.
