Irregular Period. Taking Mifepristome. What Is The Dosage?
My wife is 35 years old and she is a mother of 2 kids already. She only had 1 day of period last month and this month she thought she might not have the period regular like the previous months. Hence she has taken 1 tablet of Mifepristome after breakfast. Please advise if the medicine which has been taken is fine and in that case how many more dosage is she advised

hi,
thank you for your query.
your mother can take a single dose of 600mg.
or else you can also start with of 200 mg mifepristone orally followed 48 h later by 0.4 mg misoprostol orally for menstrual regulation
either of these are effective.
but kindly consult your OB/GYN before taking any tablets due to their side effects.
thank you,
wishing you good health
