Determining fetal arrest after taking mifepristone tablets can be determined by ultrasound, the presence of vaginal bleeding, HCG, and progesterone values.
Mifepristone tablets are anti-progesterone drugs that generally bind to the receptor for progesterone, affecting changes in the endometrium and causing the embryo to gradually die in the uterus without the support of progesterone. This is followed by a gradual separation from the normal wall of the uterine cavity, which may result in the presence of bleeding during this process.
Usually Mifepristone tablets need to be used in conjunction with Misoprostol, which softens the cervix, increases uterine contractions and helps in the expulsion of inactive embryonic tissue from the body.
Treatment with medication should be carried out under the guidance of a professional gynecologist after a hospital visit, and if heavy bleeding occurs, it should be treated promptly and self-medication is prohibited.
