Mifepristone may be used for all of the following, EXCEPT:
Mifepristone is a antiprogestin which binds to the progesterone receptors and thus prevents the action of progesterone. The administration of mifepristone is usually followed by a synthetic prostaglandin analogue thus effectively brings about aboion. Threatened aboion is a condition diagnosed clinically by the bleeding occurring in the early pregnancy and by the presence of a definite hea sound and a hematoma (sub-chorionic/marginal sinus/retroplacental) ultrasonographically. Every attempt must be taken to preserve the pregnancy in threatened aboion by applying expectant management. Use of a aboificient is not included in the management of threatened aboion.
