Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
Mifepristone tablets may irritate the gastrointestinal tract, causing digestive symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Some individuals may experience allergic reactions, including itching and skin rash. In addition, mifepristone tablets may lead to menstrual abnormalities, such as reduced menstrual flow or amenorrhea, and may cause uterine bleeding. Prolonged and excessive use may impair liver and kidney function and increase the risk of infertility. If any adverse effects occur during use, medical attention should be sought promptly. Therefore, it is essential to follow medical instructions when using mifepristone tablets and avoid self-medicating without guidance to safeguard one's health.
