RU-486 (also known by the brand name, Mifeprex) is now available in the Czech Republic. For those of you who don't know, the drug has caused much controversy globally. RU-486 is a pill that blocks hormones that is needed to maintain a pregnancy. In countries like the United States, this drug is referred to as the "abortion pill"
How Does it Work?
RU-486 contains a synthetic steroid, Mifepristone, which blocks progesterone. Progesterone is needed during a pregnancy to prepare the uterus for fertilization. Without it, the uterine lining will soften and menstruation will begin. This can be taken up to 49 days after a woman's last menstrual period (which estimates conception at 5 weeks beforehand).
Women who are overweight, anemic, diabetic, have kidney or liver problems, or Rh-negative are highly discouraged from taking RU-486. It should also be noted that taking ibuprofen compromises the effectiveness of the drug. Side effects from taking this pill are vomiting, diarrhea, menstruation lasting up to 10 days, nausea, and cramping.
What Does This Mean for Czech Republic?
In the United States RU-486 is available, but with controversy. In Europe, however RU486 has been marketed under the brand name Mifepristone and available in countries like France since 2008. In Czech Republic, Mifepristone will be available by prescription only and administered under hospital staff.
Pro-life activists protest the pill. Others see this as a safer alternative to surgical abortions. It should be noted that RU-486 can be used for other reasons besides pregancy termination. This is not a cheap alternative--in the U.S. one dosage can cost $400- USD. Antiprogestins are also used in the treatment of brain tumors and meningeal neoplasms.
