Planned Parenthood
decides to switch regimen on abortion pill after two more RU486 deaths..
See PP's statement
here:
Due to health concerns about infection rates and adverse events, we are updating our medical protocol for medication abortion.
Our health centers will no longer recommend the option of administering misoprostol vaginally (misoprostol is the second drug in the two-drug medication abortion regimen). Patients will now receive misoprostol orally or buccally (where the pill is placed between the cheek and gum and dissolves). This change in protocol is effective immediately.
