What is Mifeprex?
Mifeprex is manufactured by Danco Laboratories, and has the generic name of mifepristone. Mifeprex has also been referred to by the name of RU-486 and is also commonly referred to in the media as the "abortion pill." Mifeprex is designed for women in order to end a pregnancy during its early stage without surgery, in a process sometimes called a drug-induced or medical abortion. The abortion pill was approved only for use during the early stage of pregnancy, which is within the first 49 days after the last menstrual cycle began. Mifeprex works by blocking a hormone called progesterone, that is required to sustain a pregnancy. Blocking the progesterone hormone causes the uterine lining to break down. Mifeprex is used in conjunction with another drug called misoprostol, which is taken after Mifeprex to assist in the termination of the pregnancy. Misoprostol is designed to trigger contractions of the uterus, which expels the embryo. Mifeprex has been previously used in Europe, but only recieved approval for use in the United States in the year 2000.
