Patient's question:
Mifepristone Emergency Contraceptive Instructions? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Mifepristone is safe for breastfeeding. It should be taken within 72 hours after intercourse, with a typical dosage of 10 mg. However, mifepristone is more commonly used to treat medication-induced abortion, often in combination with misoprostol, which has a relatively high rate of miscarriage. It is used less frequently as an emergency contraceptive. When taking the medication, it is important to rule out endocrine system disorders. Breastfeeding is generally safe while taking the drug, but the use of medication should be minimized as much as possible.
