Indications & Clinical Uses

Mifegyne (mifepristone) is a progesterone receptor antagonist used in early pregnancy termination.

  • Medical termination of intrauterine pregnancy up to 9 weeks gestation: induces decidual breakdown and facilitates expulsion of the gestational sac.
  • Pre‑treatment before misoprostol administration: sensitizes the uterus to prostaglandins, improving the efficacy of subsequent medication.
  • Adjunct in management of early pregnancy loss: supports medical evacuation when combined with prostaglandins.

How It Works

  • Mifepristone binds competitively to progesterone receptors in the endometrium, blocking the hormone's action. This antagonism leads to decidual breakdown, detachment of the gestational sac, and increased uterine sensitivity to prostaglandins, which together promote expulsion of the pregnancy tissue.

Side Effects

Mifegyne may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and self‑limiting.

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea: mild to moderate feeling of sickness.
  • Abdominal pain or cramping: uterine contractions causing discomfort.
  • Vaginal bleeding: spotting or heavier flow.
  • Fatigue: temporary loss of energy.
  • Diarrhea: loose stools.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe infection: signs of fever or sepsis require urgent care.
  • Heavy hemorrhage: excessive bleeding may need surgical intervention.
  • Allergic reaction (anaphylaxis): rapid swelling, breathing difficulty, or rash.
  • Incomplete abortion: retained tissue requiring further treatment.
  • Liver dysfunction: abnormal liver enzymes or jaundice.

Precautions & Warnings

Before prescribing Mifegyne, clinicians should observe several safety measures.

  • Confirm gestational age: ensure pregnancy is ≤9 weeks by ultrasound.
  • Obtain informed consent: discuss risks, benefits, and alternatives with the patient.
  • Screen for contraindications: chronic adrenal insufficiency, long‑term corticosteroid therapy, or anticoagulant use.
  • Monitor vital signs: watch for excessive bleeding or signs of infection.
  • Provide follow‑up care: schedule post‑treatment assessment to confirm complete evacuation.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, protect from moisture and light.

Avoid Interactions

Mifegyne can interact with other medicines, affecting efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin, carbamazepine): may reduce mifepristone effectiveness.
  • Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of bleeding.
  • Long‑acting corticosteroids: may mask adrenal insufficiency.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • NSAIDs: may increase gastrointestinal discomfort.
  • Antibiotics such as metronidazole: limited data, monitor clinical response.
  • Antifungal azoles: potential pharmacokinetic interaction, observe for altered drug levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mifegyne contains mifepristone, a progesterone receptor antagonist that is used for the medical termination of intrauterine pregnancy up to nine weeks gestation. It works together with a prostaglandin analogue to induce uterine contractions and expel the gestational tissue.

Mifepristone binds to progesterone receptors in the uterine lining, blocking the hormone’s action. This causes the decidua to break down and the gestational sac to detach, while also making the uterus more responsive to prostaglandins, which trigger uterine contractions needed for expulsion.

The specific dose of Mifegyne is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s clinical situation, gestational age, and local medical guidelines. Healthcare professionals select the appropriate tablet strength and regimen at the point of care.

Mifegyne is intended for use in early pregnancy termination and is not used to treat ongoing pregnancy. It is contraindicated in ongoing pregnancy beyond the approved gestational limit and should not be used while breastfeeding, as safety data are insufficient.

To order Mifegyne, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.

Mifegyne (mifepristone) is the most widely used oral abortifacient for early pregnancy termination and is typically followed by misoprostol. Compared with surgical methods, it offers a non‑invasive alternative, and compared with other medical regimens, it provides higher efficacy when used within the approved gestational window.

Mifegyne tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in their original packaging to protect them from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid storing in areas with high humidity or direct sunlight.

Mifegyne is taken orally as a single tablet dose under medical supervision. After ingestion, a prostaglandin analogue such as misoprostol is usually prescribed 24–48 hours later to complete the termination process. Administration is performed in a clinical setting with appropriate follow‑up.

Serious risks include heavy hemorrhage, severe infection, incomplete abortion requiring surgical intervention, and rare allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. Patients should be monitored for signs of excessive bleeding, fever, or severe abdominal pain and seek immediate medical attention if these occur.

Mifegyne should not be used by individuals with chronic adrenal insufficiency, those on long‑term corticosteroid therapy, patients with known hypersensitivity to mifepristone, or anyone with a confirmed intrauterine pregnancy beyond nine weeks gestation. Contraindications also include certain bleeding disorders and concurrent use of specific interacting medications.
