When Someone You Love Needs A Choice
RU486/Mifeprex Why choose Mifeprex? Experience? How does it work? Side effects?	Mifeprex is a new option for American women since its approval by the F.D.A. for ending early pregnancy. However, women in Europe have used this option for more than a decade. Why Choose Mifeprex? Mifeprex followed by misoprostol is a safe and effective non-surgical and non-invasive method for ending early pregnancy. Taken orally, it allows you to avoid anesthesia or surgery in most cases. It offers you a more private option, with support and counseling readily available throughout the process. What experience has there been with Mifeprex? Mifeprex has gone through the rigorous F.D.A. approval process for safety and effectiveness. It is the only F.D.A. approved pill for ending early pregnancy. In Europe, over half a million women have used Mifeprex. Worldwide, this early option has been approved for use in eighteen countries. You should tell your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking and discuss whether or not Mifeprex is right for you. How does it work? Mifeprex is taken orally to block a hormone needed to maintain pregnancy. When followed by another medicine, misoprostol, Mifeprex ends the pregnancy. Mifeprex is provided through a doctor's office or clinic. It can be taken only during the first seven weeks of pregnancy. You make three visits over a two-week period. At the first visit, you receive the Medication Guide to help you understand how the early option works, counseling, and sign a confidential statement that you have decided to end your pregnancy. You then take three tablets, each containing 200 milligrams of Mifeprex. Two days later, you return and take two tablets each containing 200 micrograms of misoprostol. A follow-up visit approximately 12 days later is very important to check that the pregnancy has ended. If it has not ended, there is a chance that there may be birth defects. A few women who take Mifeprex will need a surgical procedure to end the pregnancy or to stop the heavy bleeding. Your healthcare provider will communicate to you how she/he has planned to handle this possibility. Side effects Bleeding and cramping are a normal part of the process. You may experience bleeding similar to or greater than a heavy period and can expect bleeding or spotting for an average of 9-16 days. In some cases, women may have severe bleeding and need to contact their doctor right away. Side effects of the combined regimen that may occur include nausea, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue and back pain. You can taken a pain reliever to help alleviate discomfort. * Mifeprex is a trademark of    Danco Laboratories, LLC    P.O.Box 4816    New York, NY 10185    1-877-4 Early Option (1-877-432-7596)    www.earlyoptionpill.com
