U.S. Supreme Court to evaluate access to key miscarriage and abortion drug

 

BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — Idaho Capital Sun reports the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on March 26 for a case that could curtail access to a prescription drug used for abortions and miscarriage care.

 

The case centers on when and how patients can access mifepristone, a pharmaceutical the U.S. Food and Drug Administration originally approved in 2000.

 

Mifepristone is approved for use up to 10 weeks gestation and accounts for more than half of abortions in the United States when used in combination with a second pharmaceutical called misoprostol.

 

Doctors also often use the two-drug regimen to provide treatment following a miscarriage.
