The second abortion pill. (mifepristone)

Article Abstract:

The so-called abortion pill, RU-486 or mifepristone, needs to be used in conjunction with another drug, misoprostol. The use of misoprostol for abortion is off-label, and physicians may be reluctant to use the drug for abortion. The reluctance to use the drug off-label may reduce access to abortions, when its approval was intended to have the opposite effect. Mifepristone may have successful off-label uses for non-abortion related conditions as well.
