Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Mifepristone is used in reproductive health and endocrine disorders where progesterone signaling is targeted.\n\n- Medical termination of intrauterine pregnancy up to 10 weeks: induces uterine contractions and embryo detachment to achieve complete abortion.\n- Induction of labor: facilitates cervical ripening and uterine activity in selected obstetric situations.\n- Cushing's syndrome (off‑label): reduces cortisol production by antagonizing progesterone receptors in adrenal tissue.

How It Works

  • Mifepristone binds competitively to progesterone receptors in the uterus and other target tissues, blocking the hormone’s action. This antagonism causes decidual breakdown and detachment of the embryo, while also sensitising the uterus to prostaglandins, promoting uterine contractions. In endocrine applications, receptor blockade can modify steroidogenesis, contributing to its off‑label use in conditions such as Cushing’s syndrome.

Side Effects

  • Mifepristone may cause a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to severe.\n\nCommon Side Effects:\n- Nausea: mild gastrointestinal upset.\n- Vaginal bleeding: irregular or heavy bleeding.\n- Abdominal pain: cramping in the lower abdomen.\n- Fatigue: feeling of tiredness.\n\nSerious or Rare Side Effects:\n- Severe infection: signs of sepsis or fever.\n- Heavy or prolonged bleeding: may require medical intervention.\n- Liver dysfunction: elevated enzymes or jaundice.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Before prescribing Mifegyne, clinicians should consider several safety measures.\n\n- Confirm gestational age: ensure pregnancy is ≤10 weeks before use.\n- Assess contraindications: avoid in chronic adrenal failure, anticoagulant therapy, or severe anemia.\n- Monitor vital signs: watch for excessive bleeding or infection.\n- Provide follow‑up: schedule ultrasound to confirm complete abortion.\n- Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, in original packaging, protected from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

  • Mifegyne can interact with other medicines, requiring careful management.\n\nMajor Interactions (Avoid):\n- Anticoagulants: increased risk of bleeding.\n- CYP3A4 inducers: may reduce efficacy of mifepristone.\n- Corticosteroids: may blunt therapeutic effect.\n\nModerate Interactions (Monitor Closely):\n- NSAIDs: may increase gastrointestinal irritation.\n- Antihypertensives: possible blood pressure changes.\n- Rifampin and other strong enzyme inducers: may affect drug metabolism.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mifegyne contains mifepristone and is used primarily for the medical termination of intrauterine pregnancy up to 10 weeks, for induction of labor in specific obstetric situations, and, off‑label, for managing Cushing’s syndrome when appropriate.

Mifepristone works by competitively binding to progesterone receptors, blocking the hormone’s action. This leads to breakdown of the uterine lining, detachment of the embryo, and increased uterine sensitivity to prostaglandins, facilitating termination of early pregnancy or labor induction.

The dosage of Mifegyne is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the indication, gestational age, and patient factors. Only a qualified health professional may set the appropriate regimen.

Mifegyne is used to end an early pregnancy and is therefore contraindicated in ongoing pregnancies beyond the approved gestational window. Its safety during breastfeeding has not been established, and use while nursing should be avoided unless specifically directed by a physician.

To order Mifegyne, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com with 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 necessary import documentation.

Mifegyne (mifepristone) is a progesterone receptor antagonist, whereas other abortifacients such as misoprostol act as prostaglandin analogues. Mifepristone is typically used first to prime the uterus, followed by misoprostol to complete the process, offering a two‑step regimen with high efficacy.

Mifegyne tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in the original packaging to protect from moisture and light. Do not store in extreme heat or humidity to maintain product stability.

Mifegyne is taken orally as a single tablet under medical supervision. The tablet is swallowed with water, and the patient is usually monitored for a short period before any additional medication, such as misoprostol, is given according to the treatment protocol.

Serious risks include severe infection, heavy or prolonged vaginal bleeding that may require medical intervention, and liver dysfunction. Patients should be instructed to seek immediate medical attention if they experience fever, intense abdominal pain, excessive bleeding, or signs of jaundice.

Mifegyne should not be used in women with chronic adrenal failure, severe anemia, ongoing anticoagulant therapy, known hypersensitivity to mifepristone, or when the pregnancy exceeds 10 weeks gestation. Contraindications must be evaluated by a qualified health professional before prescribing.
