canada, April 21, 2016 (Newswire.com) - (www.onlineabortionpillrx.com): The Mifegymiso drug (combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol tablets) meant for medical pregnancy termination, is going to be available in July, a welcome change for Canadians who were awaiting access to abortion pill since long time. However, the approval of drug, which was one of the lengthiest processes of its kind, may not be easily accessible with restrictions over its access already raising a hue and cry among the citizens. The Health Canada’s tight control over the medicine may not make the drug as feasible as it would have been without the limitations.
Restrictions for Access to Mifegymiso
Hello Mifegymiso, Welcome to Canada !

This abortifacient can be used only up to 49 pregnancy days to cause a natural miscarriage. The restricted drug access program allows only registered doctors with certified online training to prescribe and dispense the medication. Thus, women will not be able to purchase the product from a pharmacist. The patient will also not get the prescription in her hand. The organization says that some have a heroin like addiction to methadone, and thereby doctors must witness the person taking her first dose.
Dr. Wendy Norman, a prominent researcher at University of British Columbia thinks that the requirements are medically unnecessary and demeans women, as there is no evidence that users seeking Mifepristone make improper use of the same or do not take the tablet at all. There is no medical or safety basis that limits only doctor to dispense the abortion pills. This is why physicians from the country are not planning to prescribe the tablets, which includes order, storing, and receiving payments for the drugs, estimated at $270 per pack.
Abortion in Canada: The Fact Sheet
The physicians from rural areas do not have enough infrastructures to support the service. The limitations on Mifegymiso availability is nothing less than impairing women’s healthcare system. Sandeep Prasad, the executive director of Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights, added that females calling them look for a safe pregnancy termination method, which does not require surgical regimen performed or travel to abortion provider.
A study also shows that other than Quebec and B.C., pregnancy ending facilities are present only in large urban areas for major jurisdictions.
· In all, the 94 facilities providing pregnancy terminations at Canada were confirmed in 2012. About 49 per cent happened in Quebec.
· Experts reported ending a total of 75,650 pregnancies in 2012. Four per cent or less was medical (non-invasive) procedures.
· More than 50 countries consider Mifepristone tablets a ‘gold standard’ for in-home or medical pregnancy endings.
· Females in China and France have been able to avail this drug greater than a quarter century. It was approved for use in the United States from 2000 year.
How Would Abortion Pill Help?
The medication blocks pregnancy growth, by stopping progesterone produce that prepares uterine lining for attaching the fetus. When this line breaks, similar to female’s menstrual cycle, the uterus contracts expelling the pregnancy. After filing application at Health Canada in 2011 December, the drug will be out to people this spring, after its approval in July 2015.
