By JCPRESS

Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare called the user that it was necessary to discontinue easy use of oral artificial termination of pregnancy medicine "RU486" , or alias " Mifepristone tablet", that had not been approved domestically on October 25.

It is because there is a possibility that "Mifepristone tablet" causes the hemorrhage as operative is needed.The Mifepristone tablet is sold by the name of Mifegyne, or Mifeprex, in America and Europe .

The ministry is expected to strengthen the watch to the personal import agency trader, and to limit the personal import because this medicine is privately chiefly imported.
