Patient's question:
Recently diagnosed with this disease at the hospital. Is mifepristone a birth control pill?Doctor's answer:
For mifepristone, it can be used as an emergency contraceptive. Generally, this medication has a higher dosage for breastfeeding, and it can be taken within 72 hours of sexual intercourse to prevent pregnancy from occurring again. However, this medication is primarily used in clinical diagnosis for medication-induced abortion or uterine fibroids. It is generally not recommended to take emergency contraceptives frequently, and it is advisable to use proper contraceptive measures instead.
