FDA quietly approved a generic abortion pill ahead of shutdown 👍

“The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday quietly approved a generic form of #mifepristone, one of the two medications used in most U.S. abortions.

That makes the drug, from the company Evita Solutions, the second generic version to hit the market. The first, from pharmaceutical company GenBioPro, was approved in 2019.

Mifepristone is typically used in combination with another pill, #misoprostol, to induce abortions. Medication abortions account for nearly two-thirds of #abortion in the U.S.”

Text Shot: The FDA wrote in a letter to Evita Solutions on Tuesday, the day before the government shutdown began, that its mifepristone tablets were “therapeutically equivalent” to the brand-name version, Mifeprex, which has been available in the U.S. since 2000.

On its website, Evita Solutions describes its mission as assisting “the medical community in recognizing the utility and freedom that medical abortion provides patients.”

“We seek to normalize abortion care, and we commit to making care accessible to all,” it adds.

The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The FDA approval comes less than two weeks after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Republican state attorneys general in a letter that the FDA would review mifepristone’s safety.

In the letter, Kennedy and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary wrote that the FDA’s past decisions to roll back certain restrictions on mifepristone access had not been given “adequate…

There are ways around and laws. Overturning of was an step. It and against half the population. Keep abortion safe, reinstate the original RvW decision.

npr.org/2025/06/22/g-s1-73119/

In the last few years, the broader medical community, including the World Health Organization, has declared self-managed abortion to be a safe and effective method in the first trimester.

Many American doctors agree. In 2024, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists put out a statement in support of self-managed abortion. It called on doctors to educate themselves and provide support for patients who do it.

Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe, the hotline has only grown. It now has dozens of volunteers, including clinicians as well as people who provide logistical support. The hotline gets thousands of calls and texts every month.

Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit accusing a New York doctor of prescribing abortion drugs to a Texas resident in violation of state law. This lawsuit is the first attempt to test what happens when state abortion laws are at odds with each other.

Memek podkradziony od SAFE, czyli jednej z organizacji działających z nami w sieci Aborcji Bez Granic.

Supporting Abortions For Everyone to fundusz aborcyjny, nie zajmuje się bezpośrednim wsparciem osób przerywających ciąże, a tych które te aborcje zapewniają - aktywistek, aborcyjnych doul i pomocniczek, aby mogły wykonywać swoją pracę.

Udziela również informacji o bezpiecznych aborcjach i pomaga w skontaktowaniu się z odpowiednimi organizacjami.

Czym jest mife i miso?

❤️ Mifepriston
Blokuje działanie progesteronu, hormonu odpowiedzialnego za utrzymanie ciąży. Jest to jeden z dwóch leków do aborcji farmakologicznej (tabletkami). Ten, który pierwszego dnia połykamy i popijamy wodą.

Mifepriston potrzebuje czasu żeby zacząć działać, dlatego w ciążach do 12 tyg. odczekujemy minimum 24h z wzięciem misoprostolu, w ciążach po 12 tyg. wydłużamy ten czas do 36h.

Większość osób po przyjęciu mifepristonu nie odczuwa żadnych jego skutków, co nie znaczy, że lek nie działa. Czasem może wystąpić lekkie plamienie albo niewielkie mdłości.

❤️ Misoprostol
Zmiękcza szyjkę i wywołuje skurcze macicy, które prowadzą do wydalenia zarodka lub płodu wraz z krwią i skrzepami. Jednocześnie działa przeciwkrwotocznie, bo obkurcza naczynia krwionośne.

Misoprostol działa poronnie gdy wchłonie się przez śluzówkę, dlatego najpierw trzymamy go przez 30 minut w buzi (pod językiem/między dziąsłem a policzkiem), następnie połykykamy. Można go również zaaplikować dopochwowo.

ℹ️ Jeśli posiadasz zestaw aborcyjny - mifepriston i misoprostol, to najpierw połykasz mifepriston, w ciążach poniżej 12 tyg. czekasz 24h i używasz 4 tabletek misoprostolu. Po 12 tyg. czas między mife a miso wydłużasz do 36h, i używasz 12 tabletek misoprostolu, aplikując po 2 tabletki w dawkach co 3 godziny.

ℹ️ Są to bardzo bezpieczne leki, rekomendowane przez Światową Organizację Zdrowia do samodzielnego użycia w domu. Zamówienie ich np. z womenhelp.org na własny użytek jest legalne i nic Ci z te nie grozi.

Text from article:
Importantly, there is no scientific reason to restrict mifepristone and misoprostol in this manner. Unlike other drugs designated as dangerous controlled substances, these medications are nonaddictive and extremely safe — as safe or safer than commonly prescribed drugs such as penicillin and Viagra. And their benefits are lifesaving when administered in a timely manner.

This law is a warning call of what is to come. It is part of a national, antiabortion strategy to discredit these medications as unsafe despite copious evidence to the contrary. Attorneys general from three conservative states just reignited a lawsuit — rejected last term by the Supreme Court — that attempts to reimpose sweeping restrictions on mifepristone. All of these antiabortion efforts, cloaked in the guise of patient safety, do nothing but put patients’ lives at risk.

"Two medications, #mifepristone and #misoprostol, are commonly known as the FDA-approved drug regimen for medication #abortion, but they are also lifesaving drugs used for #pregnancy complications. #Doctors rely on one or both of them to stop postpartum hemorrhage and to manage miscarriages, as well as to induce labor."

Louisiana’s new law on abortion pills is a warning call

Louisiana has classified life-saving drugs as “dangerous controlled substances.”

"This is always how the anti-abortion movement operates. It’s palatable, and been historically successful, for those activists and allied politicians to paint abortion as a singular, siloed-off procedure that exists only in Planned Parenthood clinics. It’s easy, then, to demonize the supposed distinct set of women (and differently identifying people) who use those services too."

"It is on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medications, a list containing those medications that are the most effective and safe to meet a health care system’s most important needs. After antiabortion activists targeted the drug, Louisiana governor Jeff Landry signed a law reclassifying it as a controlled dangerous substance. The reclassification means that the drug will no longer be easily available on obstetric hemorrhage carts."
