Citizen Petition 2/2/2002
The FDA approval process is intended to ensure that drugs, commercially marketed in the United States, are safe and effective for their intended uses. Violations of the process have, in the recent past, resulted in the great sickness and death for some medical patients using other drugs approved by FDA - and then withdrawn from the market. (For background, The Los Angeles Times has discussed this important topic at great length in December 2000 in a series of stories. )
On April 17, 2002, the FDA released a Letter to Health Care Providers from the manufacturer and posted a webpage of questions and answers related to the drug. These actions were prompted by numerous serious adverse events that occurred from the use of the Mifeprex abortion regimen.
If you have suffered adverse events from the use of Mifeprex, you are not alone - but please make sure that the FDA knows about it. Either your doctor or you can report this occurrence directly to the FDA.
The Petitioners comprise doctors and women concerned about the health and safety of women - here are links to their websites:
