Doctor Claims RU-486 Can Cause Lethal Septic Shock
A Brown University professor has issued fresh allegations about the dangers related to the abortion drug regimen RU-486, asserting that one of the ingredients - mifepristone - can produce fatal septic shock in a woman in the course of ending her pregnancy.
Dr. Ralph P. Miech discusses the link between mifepristone, which is marketed in the U.S. as Mifeprex, and lethal septic shock in an article published in the September issue of “The Annals of Pharmacotherapy.”
RU-486 combines two drugs - mifepristone and misoprostol - and allows women to chemically abort their unborn children at any time during the first seven weeks of pregnancy. In mid-July, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) issued a public health warning regarding RU-486 following the report from Mifeprex drug maker Danco Laboratories that five women in the U.S. and Canada had died since 2000 due to serious bacterial infection. In at least three of the cases, the bacteria Clostridium sordellii caused the septic shock.
Miech told Cybercast News Service that he is certain “it is the RU-486 that weakens the innate immune system that allows the bacteria to grow and multiply and secrete its toxins and cause septic shock.”
Danco, however, issued a statement in July, insisting that “no causal relationship between these events and the use of Mifeprex and misoprostol has been established.”
