Antiprogestin which derives from Norethisterone, Mifepristone is a cortisol receptor blocker used to treat Cushing's syndrome and to terminate pregnancies up to 50-70 days' gestation.
Its high plasma protein-binding capacity and large volume of distribution (Sarkar 2002) explains that excretion into breast milk is clinically non-significant. It achieves very low levels in breast milk at a maternal dose of 600 mg or undetectable at maternal dose of 200 mg. (Sääv 2010)
The punctual use of mifepristone does not contraindicate breastfeeding. (LactMed, Bettahar 2016)
When used with semi-experimental purposes due to its anti-androgenic and antiglucocorticoid properties a continuous administration and / or large doses is required.
