RU-486 / Mifeprex: Overview
RU-486, also known as Mifepristone, Mifeprex or the "abortion pill," is a drug given during early pregnancy to terminate the pregnancy without the need for a conventional suction abortion. The drug can be administered up to forty-nine days after the last period begins.
Well over 500,000 women have used RU-486 to date. The drug, first approved in France over ten years ago, is distributed in the United States by Danco Laboratories. Some abortion opponents have questioned the safety of RU-486, particularly its relatively rare propensity to cause severe bleeding.
