One of my favorite drugs. I prefer the freebase method.
i always thought that was a strange name. 86 is business slang for finished, or done. R U 4 86, are you for abortion? wierd. I wonder if that was the company's intention.

I think it is the intention of anti-abortionists. I believe that outside of the US it is usually called mifepristone.

From mefi:
Cinderful, you do realize that RU-486 is named for Roussel-Uclaf (the French pharmaceutical company that developed it) and given the serial number 486 because it was the 486th drug submitted by Roussel-Uclaf to the French government for review, don't you?
And that in French, it sounds like "air ew caught sont caught re vant sees", which doesn't mean "kill someone " or anything like that?

RU-486 is a contraceptive pill , called the "french abortion pill"

Actually, technically it is NOT a contraceptive b/c you take it AFTER you become or may have become pregnant. Also, technically it is more than one pill and I've never heard it called "the french abortion pill" generally it is more commonly called "the morning after pill".

NO, it's NOT the morning after pill (HUGE MISCONCEPTION)
