Consumer:

When used for a prolonged period, miFEPRIStone may reduce the effects of ethinyl estradiol. If you are using ethinyl estradiol for birth control, you may be at increased risk for pregnancy or breakthrough bleeding. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist to determine an appropriate alternative form of birth control you can use during treatment with miFEPRIStone. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

GENERALLY AVOID: Mifepristone is a progesterone-receptor antagonist and will interfere with the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives.

MANAGEMENT: When mifepristone is prescribed daily to control hyperglycemia secondary to hypercortisolism in patients with endogenous Cushing's syndrome, only nonhormonal contraceptive methods should be used. Because mifepristone is eliminated slowly from the body, drug interactions may be observed for a prolonged period following discontinuation (approximately 2 to 3 weeks if mifepristone had been administered chronically to steady state).
