Restrictions on Abortion Drugs and New Requirements for Doctors

This act introduces new rules for abortion drugs, prohibiting the approval of new ones and imposing strict requirements on those already approved. Citizens may experience changes in access to these drugs, as their dispensing will be tightly controlled and limited to medical facilities, and doctors will need to meet additional conditions.
Key points
Prohibition on approving new abortion drugs and research into them.
Abortion drugs already on the market can only be used up to 70 days of gestation and must be dispensed in person by a prescribing healthcare practitioner in a clinic, medical office, or hospital.
Doctors prescribing these drugs will need special certification, the ability to diagnose ectopic pregnancies, and ensure access to emergency medical care.
Mandatory reporting of all serious adverse events associated with the use of abortion drugs.
