Virtually 4 out of 5 Canadians believe pregnancy termination should be officially permitted, a current survey reveals, and Canadians still tend to have a more positive outlook towards the process than their neighbors to the south.

It took 3 years for Health Canada to approve it in July 2015. Currently, Mifeprex, also called as abortion pill, is slowly being released everywhere around the country.

The medicine arrived in this country a quarter of a century later than in France, where it’s been available since 1988. In the U.S., it was permitted 17 years ago, and is now being sent to diverse areas of the country upon demand.

Canada ranks 61st in the number of countries to provide the Mifeprex abortion pill, a two-part medication combination, which permits females to abort their unwanted pregnancies just under seven weeks or in the 49 days of gestational period.

The combination treatment engages two medicines, misoprostol, and mifepristone.

In British Columbia, the pill would require to be consuming at a private counseling room at a pharmacy.

Mifepristone obstructs the hormone progesterone in a woman. The secondary medicine, misoprostol pills, expels out the pregnancy, and four tablets are to be taken 24-48 hours later by a woman at her own house.

Up until this point, about 96% of females in Canada desiring a pregnancy termination have had to go the surgical procedure. As per the medical experts, this needs to wait a little to get the process done.

He also stated that, when women have pregnancy termination at later gestation ages, that is what increases the risk.

This makes clear why the introduction of this medication combination to the Canadians could hugely be beneficial for women living in remote and rural areas.
He argued that, more access to abortions doesn’t mean pregnancy termination will take place more often. Others are critical of the move to make pregnancy terminations easier and quicker.

Those reluctant to offer the medicine aren’t compelled to, however 497 doctors and pharmacists across the Canada have already registered to take the 6-hour online course need to prescribe and distribute the medicine, plus 25 from this province.

The drug was recently scheduled to be reviewed by the CDEC (National Canadian Drug Expert Committee) in March 2017, with a final recommendation in the late spring.
