Why is this medication prescribed?|buy mifepristone online
Mifepristone is used in combination with misoprostol (Cytotec®) to end an early pregnancy. Early pregnancy means it has been 70 days or less since your last menstrual period began. Mifepristone is in a class of medications called antiprogestational steroids. It works by blocking the activity of progesterone, a substance your body makes to help continue pregnancy.
Mifepristone is also available as another product (Korlym®), which is used to control hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) in people with a certain type of Cushing’s Syndrome in which the body makes too much of the hormone cortisol. This monograph only gives information about mifepristone (Mifeprex®), which is used alone or in combination with another medication to end an early pregnancy. If you are using mifepristone to control hyperglycemia caused by Cushing’s syndrome, read the monograph entitled mifepristone (Korlym®) that has been written about this product.
How should this medicine be used?|buy mifepristone online
Mifepristone comes as a tablet to take by mouth. You will take one tablet of mifepristone once on the first day. Within 24 to 48 hours after taking mifepristone, you will apply four tablets in total of another medication called misoprostol buccally (between the gum and cheek) by placing two tablets in each cheek pouch for 30 minutes, then swallowing the remaining content with water or another liquid. Make sure that you are in an appropriate location when you take misoprostol because vaginal bleeding, cramps, nausea, and diarrhea usually begins within 2 to 24 hours after taking it but could begin within 2 hours.
