The FDA first approved mifepristone in 2000 and its periodic reviews of post-marketing data have consistently found no new safety concerns, concluding that the drug's benefits outweigh its risks. Major medical organizations, including ACOG and the AMA, have reaffirmed its safety and efficacy, with the AMA noting its safety profile is comparable to ibuprofen. Serious adverse events are extremely rare, and the FDA notes that many reported adverse events cannot be causally attributed to the drug."}],"caveats":"While the medical and regulatory consensus strongly supports the drug's safety and efficacy, like all medications it carries a small risk of adverse events.
