The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first generic version of Mifepristone (200 mg), developed by Evita Solutions, for the medical termination of pregnancy up to 10 weeks of gestation. The decision follows a comprehensive review of the company’s Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA), confirming that the product meets all regulatory requirements for safety, efficacy and quality.
Mifepristone, when used in combination with misoprostol forms the standard regimen for early medical abortion. The FDA determined that Evita Solutions’ formulation is bioequivalent and therapeutically equivalent to the reference listed drug Mifeprex® (mifepristone 200 mg) manufactured by Danco Laboratories, LLC.
This approval broadens access to safe and effective reproductive healthcare and is expected to reduce treatment costs while maintaining the same clinical standards as the branded version.
Despite ongoing debate surrounding abortion medications, the FDA’s decision is rooted in scientific and regulatory evaluation, independent of political or social influences. The introduction of generic mifepristone represents a significant milestone in reproductive medicine, supporting the continued advancement of affordable and evidence-based healthcare options.
