Mifepristone Tablets
Function and Efficacy
Mifepristone is a receptor-level antiprogestin that has the effects of terminating early pregnancy, preventing implantation, inducing menstruation, and promoting cervical ripening. It competes with progesterone for receptors to antagonize progesterone, and also has a certain binding force with glucocorticoid receptors. Mifepristone can significantly increase the sensitivity of the pregnant uterus to prostaglandins. Small doses of mifepristone sequentially combined with prostaglandin drugs can achieve satisfactory results in terminating early pregnancy.

Drug Interactions
Mifepristone is mainly metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme in the liver in the body. Combination with ketoconazole, itraconazole, erythromycin and other drugs may increase the serum level of mifepristone. Combination with rifampicin, adrenocortical hormones and certain anticonvulsants (phenytoin sodium, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, etc.) can induce the activity of liver drug metabolizing enzymes, thereby reducing the serum level of mifepristone. Therefore, this product should not be used simultaneously with the above drugs. In addition, this product should not be used in combination with griseofulvin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
