Description : A Box of Mifepristone Pills at a pharmacy in Tehatta. Mifepristone is an FDA-approved medication used with misoprostol to terminate early pregnancies and treat Cushing’s syndrome. Following a massive 2026 legal challenge, the US Supreme Court upheld nationwide access to the drug via telehealth and mail. It accounts for the majority of US abortions. Approved in nearly 100 countries and on the World Health Organization's list of essential medicines, the drug's widespread availability has revolutionized reproductive autonomy. Mifepristone (RU-486) is also a synthetic steroid that functions primarily as an antiprogestational and glucocorticoid receptor antagonist, used to manage high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) in adults with endogenous Cushing's syndrome.
