Is there important information I should discuss with patients before administering Mifeprex?
It is important to help your patients understand the benefits and risks of the Mifeprex regimen before administering Mifeprex. During the first office visit, please give the patient a Medication Guide and Patient Agreement to read and review. If she decides to end her pregnancy with the Mifeprex regimen, ask her to sign the Patient Agreement. Please advise patients to report abdominal pain or discomfort or general malaise (including weakness, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea), with or without fever, if they experience these symptoms more than 24 hours after taking misoprostol. Also, you should advise your patients to take their Medication Guide with them if they visit an emergency room or another healthcare provider who did not prescribe Mifeprex, so that provider will be aware that the patient is undergoing a medical abortion. Before administering Mifeprex, each patient must understand: • the necessity of completing the treatment schedule, including a follow-up visit approximately 14 days
