RU-486 (Mifeprex)

What is Mifeprex?
Mifeprex is a new option for American Women. It is the first Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved early option pill for ending early pregnancy. Mifeprex followed by Misoprostol is a safe and effective non-surgical method for ending early pregnancy. Women in Europe have used this option for more than a decade.

Why choose Mifeprex?
Mifeprex is a non-invasive early option for ending pregnancy. Mifeprex is taken orally, allowing you to avoid anesthesia or surgery in most cases. Some women feel it is a more private option. When you choose this early option pill, you will receive counseling and support throughout the process.

How effective is Mifeprex?
Mifeprex followed by Misoprostol is approximately 92 to 95 percent effective in ending pregnancy.

How does Mifeprex work?
Mifeprex blocks a hormone needed to maintain pregnancy. When followed by Misoprostol, Mifeprex ends the pregnancy.

How is Mifeprex provided?
Mifeprex is provided through a doctor's office or clinic. The early option pill can only be taken during the first seven weeks of pregnancy.
