What is Mifegymiso?

• Mifegymiso is ideal for women looking for convenience and the privacy of a non-invasive procedure to end a pregnancy. It is also a cost-effective alternative to a surgical abortion.
• Lastly, it is a comprehensive combo pack with all the essential abortion meds you need for a successful pregnancy removal.

How Does Mifegymiso Work?

The action mechanism of the pills involved in the pack is as follows:

• Mifepristone breaks the endometrial lining by restricting the pregnancy-development hormone, progesterone. As a result, the implanted pregnancy sections come off from the uterus wall and do not grow further.
• The secondary pill, Misoprostol x 4 tablets, widen the cervix and cause uterine contractions to expel the pregnancy contents out of the womb. The tissues exit through heavy vaginal bleeding.

Dosage of Mifegymiso

Learn how to use Mifegymiso meds at home:

• Swallow Mifepristone 200mg orally with water. Start with the pill on day 1 as this is the primary pill in the kit to end the pregnancy. You may not experience any significant changes, but some may have light spotting or nausea.
• After 24 to 48 hours, use Misoprostol 800mcg. You take the medicine sublingually by inserting 4 pills under the tongue or buccally by placing the pills between cheek pouches. The pills melt in 30 minutes, and the contents can be ingested afterward.
• You can also administer Misoprostol vaginally by putting the pills one by one into the vaginal tract. Lie down on your back while doing so, and stay relaxed in the position for 30 minutes. The pills get absorbed in the body after getting dissolved.

How to Store Mifegymiso?

Here are the storage instructions for Mifegymiso:

• The pills should remain in their original blister pack, away from the reach of children and pets.
• The storage temperature is below 77°F (25°C). Do not expose the pills to direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture.
• Avoid storing the pills in hot and humid regions like kitchen and bathroom cabinets.

Side Effects of Mifegymiso

Some of the expected and common side effects are:

• Nausea, flashes, dizziness, breast tenderness, vomiting, moderate to intense abdominal cramping and pain, diarrhea, headache, and a mild fever for a short time.
• The blood flow is heavier for the first few hours of Misoprostol use. Light bleeding or spotting may last for 2 to 6 weeks.
• Seek medical attention in case of rare complications like soaking over 2 pads every hour for the next 2 hours, extreme dizziness or weakness, fever of 100.4°F (38°C) over 24 hours, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, fainting spells, unrelieved pain even after painkiller use.

How to Manage the Mifegymiso Effects?

Here are some steps of managing the side effects:

• The antiemetic medicine works great to stop nausea and vomiting. Antipyretic medication eases fever, while staying hydrated by drinking water and electrolyte-based drinks.
• Apply a hot water bag or heating pad to reduce the pain. OTC pain relievers also reduce abdominal cramping and pain.
• Do not consume alcohol and a lot of caffeinated beverages. A nutritious and healthy diet keeps you well.
• Large-sized sanitary napkins for the bleeding are recommended rather than tampons or menstrual cups.
• Take enough rest and avoid exercising until bleeding lasts. Do not douche. Also, do not participate in vaginal intercourse in this duration.

Interactions of Mifegymiso

Do not combine the pills with:

• Herbal supplements such as St. John’s Wort and those that may affect the effectiveness of the abortion pills.
• Antiseizure medicines and immunosuppressants.
• Ketoconazole, blood thinners, and erythromycin.
• Anticoagulants, corticosteroids, and Rifampin.
• Certain fungal infection meds, phenytoin, dexamethasone, and grapefruit juice.

Contraindications of Mifegymiso

The pill-based termination for pregnancy is not advisable in the following cases:

• For an ectopic pregnancy (conception outside the uterus).
• Severe heart, kidney, liver disorders, or serious asthma/anemia.
• Allergy to Mifepristone and Misoprostol pills.
• Remove an IUD (intrauterine device), if you have one inserted for birth control, before taking the abortion pills.
• If there is an artificial valve for the heart.

Precautions of Mifegymiso

Here are the precautions to keep in mind:

• Visit a clinic post-abortion. A follow-up after 14 days via an abdominal ultrasound scan for pregnancy checks helps confirm the termination outcome.
• In case of an incomplete abortion, the doctor may advise using additional Misoprostol pills or undergoing a surgical procedure to remove the pregnancy remains.
• Fertility resumes in a few weeks, the earliest by 8-11 days after the abortion. Start with birth control whenever you get sexually active to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
• Make sure to follow the abortion pill dosage instructions carefully as indicated by the physician, keeping in mind the interval timings between the two medications.
