Walgreens, CVS to begin selling abortion pill mifepristone in some states
Quick Glance: Pharmacies Introduce Mifepristone Abortion Pill
  • The two major US pharmacy chains are set to launch the sale of the prescription abortion pill, Mifepristone, in the upcoming weeks.

  • In the following month, CVS and Walgreens will commence the distribution in select states where abortion is legally permitted.

  • Mifepristone, the pioneering FDA-recommended component of a two-pill regimen for terminating pregnancy, obtained initial approval in 2000, marking a significant milestone in reproductive healthcare.
