"Over-the-counter abortion medication is not a reality currently. Grossman is not aware of any pending applications at the Food and Drug Administration for medication abortion to be sold over-the-counter."
"There's so much discussion about the restrictions on medication abortion that are not evidence-based. He points to decades of research establishing the safety and efficacy of the two drugs used in medication abortion."
"The box took them a long time to develop, he adds, explaining that they named the prototype 'MiMi' for the two medications, mifepristone and misoprostol."
"It's exciting to see science pointing us in another direction, where access could be expanded."
A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine reveals that over-the-counter medication abortion is not a reality. Dr. Daniel Grossman emphasizes the need for public awareness regarding this issue. Currently, there are no FDA applications for over-the-counter medication abortion, and numerous states have enacted bans on abortion. The study involved 168 patients assessing a prototype packaging for a potential over-the-counter abortion kit named 'MiMi.' Research supports the safety and efficacy of the drugs used in medication abortion, suggesting potential for expanded access.
