Can a doctor prescribe RU 486?

Yes, a doctor can prescribe Mifeprex (mifepristone). Mifeprex is the brand name for the medication commonly known as the abortion pill or RU-486. It is a medication used to end a pregnancy during the early stages. In most cases, it can be used up to 10 weeks (70 days) from the first day of your last period.

In the United States, Mifeprex is available only by prescription from a healthcare provider who is specially trained and certified to prescribe it. The medication comes with specific instructions on how to use it and what to expect after taking it. It is typically taken in combination with another medication called misoprostol.

It's important to consult with a healthcare professional, preferably an OB-GYN or a provider specializing in reproductive health, to discuss the details of your situation, get proper guidance, and ensure the safe use of Mifeprex.
