Andrographis Overview

Andrographis Andrographis is a type of plant native to Asia and is commonly used in traditional medicine. It is a member of the Acanthaceae family and is sometimes referred to as "Indian echinacea." Andrographis is believed to have a number of potential health benefits and is often used to treat infections, such as the common cold and flu, as well as other health conditions. Studies have shown that Andrographis contains a number of compounds, and dietary supplements are often standardized with a specific amount of one in particular, andrographolide.

Mifepristone Overview

  • Mifepristone (Korlym) is used to treat hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) in people with a certain type of Cushing's syndrome in which the body makes too much cortisol (a hormone) and who have failed surgery or cannot have surgery to treat this condition. Mifepristone is in a class of medications called cortisol receptor blockers. It works by blocking the activity of cortisol.

  • Mifepristone is also available as another product (Mifeprex) that is used alone or in combination with another medication to end an early pregnancy. This monograph only gives information about mifepristone (Korlym) used to control hyperglycemia in people with a certain type of Cushing's syndrome. If you are using mifepristone to terminate a pregnancy, read the monograph entitled mifepristone (Mifeprex), which has been written about this product.
