| It is very unwise to take mifepristone that has been obtained online. The only FDA-approved mifepristone is obtained from Danco Pharmaceuticals, under the brand name Mifeprex. Only Danco can distribute mifepristone to doctors, who sign a special agreement with the manufacturer.
Because you cannot be assured that you are getting real mifepristone from online sources, it is not safe to use what is available through the Internet. In addition, mifepristone is used with another medication, misoprostol, for medication abortion. Both medications are needed to assure maximum safety and effectiveness when an early pregnancy is terminated. Neither should be ordered through the Internet. And neither should be used without medical supervision.
If you know anyone who is thinking about ending a pregnancy with medications gotten from the Internet, please advise them against taking such risks and to seek professional medical advice immediately. Remember, safe and effective medication abortion is available throughout the U.S. from Planned Parenthood and other accredited women's health facilities. |
