Can Mifepristone Cause Long Term Damage To The Baby?

I took mifepristone [just those three] and it didn t work I went to the hospital and they did a ultra-sound and blood test and said every thing went fine. Do you think there is any lasting damage done to the baby from taking this drug? I am now thinking about keeping it but I m not sure because of that..

Hallow Dear,

Tab. Mifepristone is usually followed by Tab. Misoprostol. The abortion process usually starts within 24 hours.

If the medicines fail to terminate the pregnancy, then there is a risk of abnormal development of the baby; hence it is not advisable to continue the pregnancy after failure of these medicines.

It is better you inform your Obstetrician about the consumption of the medicine for termination of pregnancy and then get the termination done by surgical evacuation of the uterus.

I hope you got the message.
