Mifeone 25mg Softgel Capsule

Mifeone 25mg Softgel Capsule belongs to the class of medication called 'progestin antagonist' used in combination with Misoprostol to induce a medical abortion. Mifeone 25mg Softgel Capsule is primarily used to end an early pregnancy (lasting up to 70 days or less than this) or an unwanted pregnancy with medication help.

Mifeone 25mg Softgel Capsule contains Mifepristone, which works by blocking the effect of progesterone (female hormone), which is needed to sustain a pregnancy. In the absence of progesterone, the lining of the uterus breaks down as it does every month during the menstrual cycle, and the growth of pregnancy is stopped. It takes approximately 24-48 hours for Mifeone 25mg Softgel Capsule to show effect. Once it starts acting, you will experience uterine bleeding. But no uterine bleeding does not mean that the abortion is complete.

Having a medical abortion is a very emotional decision. You should be mentally prepared for all the risks a surgical absorption could lead to, like incomplete abortion, heavy and prolonged bleeding (which may last up to 30 days), fever, and digestive system discomfort. Also, if the medication does not work, it can lead to an unwanted ongoing pregnancy, leading to fetal defects. So, to avoid any complications, keep in regular touch with your doctor and do as advised.

Mifeone 25mg Softgel Capsule should be taken in dose and duration as advised by the doctor, preferably with food. It would be best to take it at a fixed time every day. It is a tablet and should be taken orally with a glass of water. In some cases, you may experience nausea, uterine cramps, vomiting, diarrhoea, infection following abortion, dizziness, and uterine bleeding. Most of these side effects of Mifeone 25mg Softgel Capsule subside with time. But if your vaginal bleeding does not, please visit the doctor immediately, and it requires immediate medical attention.

Mifeone 25mg Softgel Capsule should not be stopped abruptly without consulting the doctor as it may lead to incomplete abortion. Inform your doctor before starting Mifeone 25mg Softgel Capsule if you have or ever had an ectopic pregnancy (when the fetus grows in the fallopian tube), using an intrauterine device, or if you are breastfeeding, any bleeding disorder or heart problem. Do not do strenuous activities like running, heavy exercise, or driving to avoid excessive bleeding. The doctor will also check with ultrasound if the absorption is complete as no bleeding does not mean that abortion is complete.

Mifeone 25mg Softgel Capsule contains Mifepristone, which is taken in a regimen with Misoprostol to induce medical abortion or terminate a pregnancy before 70 days. It works by blocking the effect of progesterone (female hormone) needed to sustain a pregnancy. In the absence of progesterone, the lining of the uterus breaks down as it does every month during the menstrual cycle, and the growth of pregnancy is stopped. It takes approximately 24-48 hours for Mifeone 25mg Softgel Capsule to show effect.

Women who have an ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside of the uterus, problems with the adrenal glands (the glands near the kidneys), currently taking corticosteroid therapy (medications), have an allergic reaction to mifepristone, misoprostol or similar drugs, have bleeding problems or taking the blood-thinning drug (warfarin, clopidogrel, aspirin, heparin etc.) should not use Mifeone 25mg Softgel Capsule and contact doctor. After using Mifeone 25mg Softgel Capsule if you start feeling sleepy, do not drive or operate heavy machinery. If you use an intrauterine device (IUD), please remove it before taking the Mifeone 25mg Softgel Capsule . Regular follow-up with the doctor is required for constant monitoring of abortion. If medical termination does not happen or becomes unsuccessful, it should be terminated surgically as it can lead to foetal defects. Your doctor will examine by performing ultrasonography to confirm if the abortion is complete. St John’s Wort (herbal supplements to treat mild depression) and grapefruit juice should not be taken when taking Mifeone 25mg Softgel Capsule as it is known to interact.
