Mifeprex (mifepristone) RU-486

The subject of abortion is surrounded by debate. Highly charged discussions from both sides of the issue take place every day around the world. In the center of it all is Mifeprex, a medication made by Danco Laboratories used to induce abortions in pregnant women up to 49 days from the beginning of their last menstrual cycle.

Originally referred to as "RU-486", Mifeprex achieved U.S. Food and Drug Administration's approval in 2000. Since that time, several Mifeprex-related deaths have been reported in American and Canadian women who used the drug to end pregnancies.

Mifeprex works by inhibiting progesterone, a hormone necessary for the development of a fetus. It has also been prescribed "off label" for patients with Cushing's disease.

Persons with ectopic pregnancies, hemorrhagic problems, and adrenal failure are urged to avoid using Mifeprex. Common side effects of the medication include abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding (which may continue for up to 30 days after use of Mifeprex), vomiting, fever, and nausea.

Although Mifeprex's makers have touted it as a safe way for women to have abortions, many questions have been raised about the drug's true nature. Concerns that Mifeprex might have been "rushed" to approval have circulated as more persons have come forward complaining of Mifeprex's adverse side effects.

In fact, in 1996, Mifeprex (known off-brand under the name "mifepristone") usage was banned in Australia.

Though many in the United States have also tried to remove Mifeprex from the market, it is still prescribed and used legally by physicians around the country.
