Mifeprex (RU486)font sizeAAASIDE EFFECTS
The treatment procedure is designed to induce the vaginal bleeding and uterine cramping necessary to produce an abortion. Nearly all of the women who receive Mifeprex and misoprostol will report adverse reactions, and many can be expected to report more than one such reaction. About 90% of patients report adverse reactions following administration of misoprostol on day three of the treatment procedure. Those adverse events that occurred with a frequency greater than 1% in the U.S. and French trials are shown in Table 3.
Vaginal bleeding and cramping are expected consequences of the action of Mifeprex as used in the treatment procedure. Following administration of mifepristone and misoprostol in the French clinical studies, 80 to 90% of women reported bleeding more heavily than they do during a heavy menstrual period (see WARNINGS, Bleeding for additional information). Women also typically experience abdominal pain, including uterine cramping. Other commonly reported side effects were nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Pelvic pain, fainting, headache, dizziness, and asthenia occurred rarely. Some adverse reactions reported during the four hours following administration of misoprostol were judged by women as being more severe than others: the percentage of women who considered any particular adverse event as severe ranged from 2 to 35% in the U.S. and French trials. After the third day of the treatment procedure, the number of reports of adverse reactions declined progressively in the French trials, so that by day 14, reports were rare except for reports of bleeding and spotting.

I was told that it causes can cause extreme nausea and I'm pretty sure dizziness. If you have it, they suggest not taking a big test or something because it's got a bunch of side-effects. You can find out on plannedparenthood.org

used to be nausea but now there is usually just the two pills each taken 12 hours apart. get antinausea pills from doc at same time just in case. also it may screw up the persons period bringing it on early.. or just at different time to usual. sometimes it can make pmt worse if person is prone to that.

The problem with the morning after pill is even though you kill your baby at a very young stage, you will wonder for the rest of your life...did I kill a baby that would have made it to maturity. It will be a moral delema that will haunt you your whole life. Don't play GOD. Get married and settle down. It really is the best thing to do. Kids are a wonderful blessing. I don't know how many times a day people tell me how beautiful my little boy is... It's work mind you, but worth is. The minute that sperm gets in the egg its not yours or his any more, it's a life, and you killing it is manslaughter.

I took it and I got super sick. I was soooo nauseous it was bad. I guess because of the high levels of estrogen. Just really bad nausea. Take gravol too.
