RU-486

RU-486 has been a controversial abortion drug due to moral stand points as well as the dangerous side effects and complications linked to it. The FDA approved RU-486 in September 2000 on a fast track despite the dangers displayed by the drug. In April 2002, the RU-486 maker sent a letter informing doctors of six women that have developed serious illnesses, as well as two reported deaths of women taking RU-486 to induce abortions.

Three women that took RU-486 experienced bleeding caused by rupture of ectopic pregnancies that led to the death of one of the women. Two other women suffered serious bacterial infections following the RU-486 with one of the women dying. The sixth woman who had used RU-486 suffered a heart attack despite her young age.
