What is MTPill (Mifepristone) used for?

MTPill (Mifepristone) is indicated for the medical termination of intrauterine pregnancy through 49 days pregnancy. For purposes of this treatment, pregnancy is dated from the first day of the last menstrual period in a presumed 28 day cycle with ovulation occurring at mid-cycle. Any intrauterine device (IUD) should be removed before treatment with MTPill begins. Pregnancy termination by surgery is recommended in cases when MTPill and Misoprost fail to cause termination of intrauterine pregnancy.

MTPill should be prescribed only by your doctor or under the supervision of a gynaecologist, able to assess the gestational age of an embryo and to diagnose ectopic pregnancies. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.
