Patient's question:
What are the effects of mifepristone tablets? What happens after taking them? Can women with ectopic pregnancy take mifepristone tablets?Doctor's answer:
For mifepristone, the main effect is to prevent early pregnancy, with the ability to regulate menstruation and soften the cervix. If this medication is used during pregnancy, it is primarily applied for medical abortion. Generally, medical abortion requires a thorough ultrasound examination to confirm intrauterine pregnancy before it can be used. In cases of ectopic pregnancy, taking mifepristone must be under strict medical supervision. Only when the embryo tissue is particularly small can conservative treatment be considered, and the use of medication for abortion can be contemplated.
