Generally, mifepristone should not be taken during menstruation. Using it during your period may cause side effects such as vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. It is recommended to take the medication after menstruation ends. Women should use this drug with caution during their period, as it may also have a blood-activating effect. Long-term use could even lead to amenorrhea. In special circumstances, medication should only be taken under a doctor's guidance. During menstruation, keep the abdomen warm.
