Mifepristone & Smoking - side effects?

Hey, I don't suppose anybody knows the side effects of smoking after taking mifepristone (Mifegyne). All I've found so far is that you're advised not to, but no comments on the side effects.

Cheers

    I really dont think its a good idea.
    I only know of one use for mifepristone, and if its for that then dont take any risks or ignore any advice given.

    Im not sure of the reasons why, i would guess at increased risk of a blood clot/bleeding problems???

    Thanks guys for your help. (it's not for me)

    Annoying that the drugs companies don't publish this information and leave us to guess.

    Only thing I've found out is that it's been banned in the US because of the high mortality rate.

    I presumed it wasnt for you!!!!!

    At the end of the day, the decision to use mifepristone far outweighs the importance of smoking, and hopefully she'll never need it again.
