…and I believe worth fighting. Someone got to them, and they need to hear differently. I have many questions about how they came to this decision, and I am sure they’ve been fed a lot of — well, let’s just call it lies and be done with it.
If they think it’s not asked for a lot — well, the pharmacists at my local have gone out of their way to get me OTC medications that Costco doesn’t carry, when I request them.
If they think Mifepristone is used solely for killing darling babies by wicked, wicked women, they need to be informed differently. I have written at length about the changing goalposts in my lifetime regarding what abortion is. By the time the “pro-life” people got to IUDs and The Pill, and moved on to lifesaving procedures I recall from my own mother’s era, I knew damn well the forced-birthers had an agenda that would kill women — and that is happening now.
If they think it has no purpose beyond abortion, they need to be told the many chronic diseases it can be used for:
AI Overview from query about mifepristone and chronic diseases
Mifepristone, while primarily known for its role in medical abortion, is also used to treat a variety of chronic conditions due to its effects on progesterone and glucocorticoid receptors.
Specifically, mifepristone is used or being investigated for the following chronic diseases:
Cushing's Syndrome: Mifepristone is FDA-approved to manage hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) associated with Cushing's syndrome in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus or glucose intolerance who have failed surgery or are unable to undergo surgery. It blocks the effects of cortisol, a hormone overproduced in Cushing's syndrome.
Uterine Fibroids (Leiomyomas): Studies suggest that mifepristone can shrink uterine fibroids, which are benign growths in the uterus, and alleviate related symptoms like pelvic pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. This offers a non-surgical alternative for some women.
Endometriosis: Mifepristone's ability to block progesterone receptors is being investigated for its potential to treat endometriosis, a condition where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus.
Psychiatric Disorders: Mifepristone has shown promise in treating conditions like psychotic depression, major depressive disorder, and potentially post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov). It may help regulate stress signals in the brain by blocking the receptors that stress hormones bind to.
Certain Cancers: Ongoing research suggests mifepristone may play a role in treating hormone-sensitive cancers such as breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer by interfering with hormone-dependent tumor growth.
Adenomyosis: Clinical trials suggest that mifepristone might be an effective and safe treatment option for adenomyosis, characterized by endometrial tissue growing into the uterine muscle wall.
It's important to note that while some of these applications are well-established, such as in Cushing's syndrome, others are still under investigation and may be considered off-label uses. Further research is ongoing to fully understand the benefits and mechanisms of action of mifepristone in treating various chronic diseases.
