What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

Mifeprex (mifepristone) is administered with misoprostol to medically terminate intrauterine pregnancy through 70 days gestation.

Mifeprex comes in 200 mg tablets for oral administration.

Directions

Mifeprex should be taken as the prescribing doctor has instructed.

Recommended Mifeprex dosing: 200 mg orally on Day 1, then 800 mcg misoprostol buccally 24-48 hours after Mifeprex.

Patients should follow up with their physician to verify that pregnancy termination has been completed.

Keep Mifeprex stored at 25°C (77°F); keep out of children's reach.

Carefully read the Mifeprex medication guide that accompanies your prescription for further instructions for use.

Inform your doctor or pharmacist of any questions or concerns you may have.

Ingredients

Mifepristone is the active ingredient in Mifeprex.

Colloidal silica anhydrous, corn starch, povidone, microcrystalline cellulose, and magnesium stearate are the inactive ingredients.

Contraindications

Do not take Mifeprex if you:

  • Have confirmed or suspected ectopic pregnancy or undiagnosed adnexal mass
  • Have chronic adrenal failure
  • Are taking long-term corticosteroids
  • Have experienced an allergy to mifepristone, misoprostol, or other prostaglandins
  • Have hemorrhagic disorders or are taking anticoagulants, or blood thinners
  • Have inherited porphyria
  • Have an intrauterine device

Cautions

  • Mifeprex is associated with the following FDA Boxed Warning:
    • Very rarely, serious and potentially fatal infections and bleeding occur after spontaneous, surgical, and medical abortions, including after the use of Mifeprex.
    • Atypical Presentation of Infection. Patients can have serious bacterial infections and sepsis without a fever, bacteremia, or significant findings on pelvic examination. A strong level of suspicion is required to rule out serious infection and sepsis.
    • Bleeding. Heavy, prolonged bleeding may be a sign of incomplete abortion or other complications; medical or surgical intervention may be immediately necessary.
    • Mifeprex is accessible only through a restricted program known as Mifepristone REMS Program.
    • The patient should be made aware of these risks before receiving a prescription for Mifeprex. The patient should know who to call and what to do if they have sustained fever, severe abdominal pain, prolonged heavy bleeding, or fainting, or if they experience abdominal pain or discomfort or general discomfort for more than 24 hours after taking misoprostol.
  • Before you take Mifeprex, discuss the following with your doctor:
    • All the prescription and nonprescription medications you take
    • Any allergies you have
    • Your current health issues
    • Your past medical history
    • Your status of pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Ectopic pregnancy needs to be ruled out before taking Mifeprex.
  • Prevention against rhesus immunization is necessary, just as it is for surgical abortion.

Side Effects

Mifeprex side effects include but are not limited to nausea, weakness, fever/chills, vomiting, headache, diarrhea, and dizziness.

Immediately notify your doctor if you have bothersome or persistent side effects.

Talk to your doctor about Mifeprex.
