A largest-of-its-kind study found that more than 10% of women who terminate their pregnancies with abortion pills experience serious health problems, even though the drug’s warning label puts the figure at less than 0.5%.

The analysis of insurance data from 865,727 prescriptions of mifepristone from 2017 to 2023 showed that within 45 days, 10.93% of women were treated for conditions including sepsis, hemorrhaging and infection, while 2.84% ended up undergoing a surgical abortion.

“The real-world rate of serious adverse events following mifepristone abortions is at least 22 times as high as the summary figure of ‘less than 0.5 percent’ in clinical trials reported on the drug label,” said the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a conservative think tank, which
released the research Monday.

The study conducted by EPPC President Ryan T. Anderson and Jamie Bryan Hall, the center’s director of data analysis, recommended that the Food and Drug Administration reinstate the safety protocols weakened under the Biden and Obama administrations to expand abortion access.

“In light of this research, we urge the FDA to reinstate earlier, stronger patient safety protocols and reconsider its approval of mifepristone altogether,” the study’s authors wrote. “Women deserve better than the abortion pill.”

The warning label for Mifeprex, the brand name for mifepristone manufactured by Danco Laboratories, says that the 0.5% figure for serious adverse reactions is based on six U.S. and four non-U.S. clinical studies totaling 30,966 women — far fewer than the number in the EPPC analysis.

The FDA-approved label is also based on data “from trials taking place more than a decade ago,” the EPPC analysis says.

“Danco Laboratories markets Mifeprex as ‘the safe and effective abortion pill,’ but our research shows that mifepristone abortion, as currently practiced in the U.S., is not safe and effective,” said the study.
