Abortion drugs, also known as pregnancy termination pills, work by inducing a medical abortion. Medical abortion involves using medications to terminate a pregnancy instead of surgery. There are two types of abortion drugs – mifepristone and misoprostol. These pills can end early pregnancies safely and effectively.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the abortion drugs market is increasing acceptance of medical abortion. Earlier, surgical abortion was the only option available but numerous research studies have established the safety, efficacy and acceptability of medical abortion using pills. Medical abortion allows women more privacy and control over their reproductive healthcare. It reduces the need to visit abortion facilities and expands access to safe abortion services especially in restrictive regions. This has contributed significantly to the growth of abortion drugs market globally. However, regulations around their usage vary across different countries and regions.
