Pregnancy termination, medication abortion:
Day 1: Oral: Mifepristone 200 mg as a single dose in patients up to 63 days' gestation as measured from the first day of the last menstrual period (presumed 28-day cycle).
Missed dose: Patient should contact their health care provider immediately if administration is delayed or tablet is not administered at the time and date specified (listed on the completed Patient Information Card).
Day 2 or 3: Buccal: Misoprostol 800 mcg 24 to 48 hours after mifepristone administration. Dose is administered as four 200 mcg tablets as a single dose placed between cheek and gum and held in place for 30 minutes. Any remnants should be swallowed with water.
Missed dose: Patient should contact their health care provider immediately if they forget to take misoprostol and it is greater than 48 hours after administration of mifepristone. If the time is less than 48 hours since mifepristone was administered but after the time and date specified on the Patient Information Card, the health professional may instruct patient to take the misoprostol tablets immediately.
Day 7 to 14 (post-treatment appointment): Patient must follow-up with the health care provider 7 to 14 days after administration of mifepristone to confirm that complete termination of pregnancy has occurred. Surgical termination may be necessary for treatment failure.
Pregnancy termination, medication abortion (off-label dosing): Mifepristone 200 mg orally followed by misoprostol 800 mcg buccally, sublingually, or vaginally 24 to 48 hours later in patients up to 70 days gestation (Ref).

Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Bacterial infections: [Canadian Boxed Warning]: Cases of serious bacterial infection, including very rare cases of fatal septic shock, have been reported following the use of mifepristone/misoprostol. Some patients presented without fever, with or without abdominal pain, but with leukocytosis with a marked left shift, tachycardia, hemoconcentration, and general malaise. A high index of suspicion is needed to rule out sepsis (from eg, Clostridium sordellii) if a patient reports abdominal pain or discomfort or general malaise (including weakness, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea) more than 24 hours after taking misoprostol. Promptly evaluate any patient with a sustained fever of ≥38°C (≥100.4°F), abdominal pain, or pelvic tenderness.
• Bleeding: [Canadian Boxed Warning]: Prolonged heavy bleeding may be a sign of incomplete abortion or other complications; prompt medical or surgical intervention may be needed. Patients must seek immediate medical attention. The manufacturer cites soaking through 2 thick sanitary pads per hour for 2 consecutive hours as an example of excessive bleeding. Use with caution in patients with preexisting anemia; use is not recommended in patients with severe anemia (has not been studied).
• CNS effects: May cause dizziness which may impair physical or mental abilities; patients must be cautioned about performing tasks that require mental alertness (eg, operating machinery, driving).
• Hypersensitivity reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions (eg, angioedema, anaphylaxis, skin rash) have been reported with mifepristone/misoprostol; in some cases, angioedema occurred within 1 hour of misoprostol administration. Monitor and treat appropriately patients presenting with signs/symptoms of hypersensitivity.
• Skin reactions: [Canadian Boxed Warning]: Serious skin reactions, including toxic epidermal necrolysis and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, have been reported with mifepristone and misoprostol treatment; discontinue treatment immediately in patients with signs and symptoms of skin reactions, re-treatment is not recommended.
Disease-related concerns:
• Adrenal insufficiency: Use with caution in acute adrenal failure (has not been studied). Mifepristone antagonizes glucocorticoid activity; adjustment in adrenal replacement therapy may be necessary.
• Asthma: Bronchospasm may occur with some prostaglandins and prostaglandin analogues; use caution in patients with a history of asthma. Use is contraindicated in uncontrolled asthma.
• Cardiovascular disease: Serious cardiovascular events have been reported following prostaglandin administration (including misoprostol). Use is not recommended in patients with cardiovascular disease (has not been studied). Use with caution in patients with hypertension, diabetes, or who are over the age of 35 years and heavy smokers.
• Diabetes: Use is not recommended in patients with diabetes (has not been studied).
• Malnutrition: Use is not recommended if patient is malnourished (has not been studied).
• Seizure disorder: Prostaglandins and prostaglandin analogues have been associated with seizures; monitor patients with a history of seizure disorder closely.
Special populations:
• Pediatrics: Not indicated in patients prior to puberty. Adverse events (eg, diarrhea, vomiting, pain) occurred more frequently in patients 15 to 17 years.
Other warnings/precautions:
• Appropriate use: Obtain patient's written consent, exclude ectopic pregnancy and confirm gestational age by an appropriate method prior to use. Consider patient's ability to comply with the requirements of therapy and the need for follow up evaluation prior to administering mifepristone/misoprostol. Ensure patient has access to emergency medical treatment for 2 weeks after mifepristone administration.
• Confirmation of terminated pregnancy: Confirmation of pregnancy termination by clinical exam, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and/or ultrasound must be made 7 to 14 days following treatment. In clinical trials, treatment failure occurred in 2.7% to 5.1% of cases prior to 63 days of gestation. The rate of failure increases with advancing age. Manufacturer recommends termination of pregnancy by another method to manage ongoing pregnancy after medication abortion. Preventive measures to prevent Rh immunization must be taken prior to surgical abortion.
• Ectopic pregnancy: Exclude ectopic pregnancy prior to administration. Perform ultrasound prior to initiating therapy if ectopic pregnancy is suspected. As health care providers, be alert for signs/symptoms which may be related to undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy in any patient undergoing a medication abortion; some symptoms of a medication abortion may be similar to those of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.
• Experienced physician: [Canadian Boxed Warning]: Patients should be followed by a health care professional 7 to 14 days after taking mifepristone to confirm safety and complete pregnancy termination. For administration only by health care providers with knowledge of medication abortion and/or who have completed the Mifegymiso educational training.
• Intrauterine device: Remove any intrauterine device (IUD) before treatment begins; use with an IUD is contraindicated.
• Patient education: Instruct patients undergoing treatment to bring their information guide with them when obtaining treatment from an emergency room or health care provider that did not prescribe the medication initially in order to identify that they are undergoing a medication abortion. Discuss the benefits and risks of treatment (including bleeding, infection, or incomplete abortion) with patient prior to therapy.

This medication is used for pregnancy termination (medication abortion).
[Canadian Boxed Warning]: Patients should be advised of their immediate return to fertility after mifepristone/misoprostol administration. To avoid the potential exposure of a subsequent pregnancy to mifepristone and misoprostol, it is recommended that conception be avoided during the next menstrual cycle. Reliable contraceptive methods should therefore commence as early as possible. During clinical trials, pregnancies occurred between embryo expulsion and the return of menses.
Also refer to individual monographs for additional information.
This medication is used for pregnancy termination (medication abortion).
[Canadian Boxed Warning]: Patients should be counselled that once treatment is initiated, there are risks of embryotoxicity if the pregnancy is not terminated. Both mifepristone and misoprostol are embryotoxic and have been associated with fetal abnormalities.
[Canadian Boxed Warning]: Prolonged heavy bleeding may be a sign of incomplete abortion or other complications; prompt medical or surgical intervention may be needed. Patients must seek immediate medical attention.
Also refer to individual monographs for additional information.
Mifepristone and misoprostol are present in breast milk.
Breastfeeding is not recommended by the manufacturer. Refer to individual monographs for additional information
Prior to treatment: Confirm pregnancy, estimate gestational age, and determine Rh status; assess hemoglobin and hematocrit if anemia is suspected (ACOG 2020; SOGC [Costescu 2016]). Pregnancy is dated from day 1 of last menstrual period presuming a 28-day cycle.
Following treatment: Clinical exam, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) testing, evaluation of symptoms, and/or ultrasound 7 to 14 days after administration of mifepristone/misoprostol to confirm complete pregnancy termination. Additional evaluations may be needed in patients reporting fever with or without abdominal pain, sustained fever, severe abdominal pain, prolonged heavy bleeding, syncope, or general malaise (including weakness, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea) for more than 24 hours after taking misoprostol. In cases of an uncomplicated medication abortion, a telephone evaluation 1 week after treatment and an in-home pregnancy test 4 weeks after treatment can be done to avoid in-person visits when allowed by local laws. Perform in-person clinical exams when medically indicated or preferred by the patient (ACOG 2020; SOGC [Costescu 2016]).
Mifepristone is a synthetic steroid that competitively binds to the intracellular progesterone receptor, blocking the effects of progesterone. When used for the termination of pregnancy, this leads to contraction-inducing activity in the myometrium. Mifepristone also produce cervical ripening.
Misoprostol is a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog that induces contractions in the myometrium and relaxation of the cervix.
