Abstract:
Abstract BACKGROUND Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) are safe, effective and convenient post-abortal methods. However, there is concern that some LARCs may reduce the effectiveness of abortifacient drugs or result in other adverse outcomes. OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE We undertook two systematic reviews to examine the early administration of LARCs in women undergoing medical abortion with mifepristone and misoprostol. (i) For women who are having a medical abortion and who plan to use a progestogen-only contraceptive implant or injectable, does administration of the contraception at t

Abstract:
Many women using progestogen (P)-only contraceptives experience uterine bleeding problems. In clinical trials, a single low dose of mifepristone, given to Implanon users at the beginning of a bleeding episode reduced the number of bleeding days by ∼50% compared with controls. In this study, a single dose of mifepristone was administered to etonogestrel (ENG)-exposed pseudo-pregnant mice, 5 days after artificial decidualization was induced when the endometrium showed signs of bleeding. Control mice received vehicle alone. Mice were culled 12-, 18-, 24- and 48-h post-treatment. In the continued

Abstract:
Antiprogestins are steroid compounds that have a high ability to bind to progesterone cell receptors and thus prevent their binding to endogenous steroid hormone.
 The first achievements in the search for progesterone antagonists were obtained in the laboratories of well-known companies Roussel-Uclaf and Schering AG, where hundreds of Hp-arylsteroid derivatives were synthesized, of which the most common were mifepristone (RU 38486), lilopristone (ZK 08734), onapriston (ZK 08200 )
 At present, antiprogestins are used as implantation inhibitors, contraceptives, drugs used in Itsenko-Cu

Abstract:
Emergency post-coital contraception (EC) is an effective method of preventing pregnancy when used appropriately. EC has been available since the 1970s, and its availability and use have become widespread. Options for EC are broad and include the copper intrauterine device (IUD) and emergency contraceptive pills such as levonorgestrel, ulipristal acetate, combined oral contraceptive pills (Yuzpe method), and less commonly, mifepristone. Some options are available over-the-counter, while others require provider prescription or placement. There are no absolute contraindications to the use of emer

Abstract:
The first study investigates the effect of daily low-dose mifepristone on proliferation markers [phospho-histone H3 (pH3) mitosis marker] and steroid receptors [oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, androgen receptor (AR)] in the endometrium. There was a significant down-regulation in pH3 and PR expression following mifepristone treatment whereas AR expression was up-regulated. Since androgens antagonize oestrogen-effects on the endometrium, mifepristone-induced AR up-regulation could play a role in its anti-proliferative effects. The second study investigates the effects of daily low-dos

Abstract:
When an unintended pregnancy occurs secondary to contraceptive failure, the availability of safe means of pregnancy termination is important to minimize morbidities and mortalities associated with the abortion procedure. Where allowed within the legal constraints, access to safe abortion should be facilitated without prejudice and stigmatization. The healthcare providers should offer proper pre-abortion counselling and assessment, and choice of the abortion method should be made based on the gestational age and local expertise. Both medical and surgical methods are available for the effective termination of first- and second-trimester pregnancies. Most recommended regimens for medical abortion involve the use of misoprostol with or without mifepristone, whereas surgical abortions generally employ suction evacuation of the uterus. Providers of abortion service should be familiarized with the evidence-based guidelines and protocols published by various authorities on the abortion procedures and postabortion care, as well as means to prevent complications.
