The FDA released a new approved utilization regime for Mifepristone, a medication used to induce first trimester abortions:
Mifeprex is approved, in a regimen with misoprostol, to end a pregnancy through 70 days gestation (70 days or less since the first day of a woman’s last menstrual period). The approved Mifeprex dosing regimen is:
On Day One: 200 mg of Mifeprex taken by mouth
· 24 to 48 hours after taking Mifeprex: 800 mcg of misoprostol taken buccally (in the cheek pouch), at a location appropriate for the patient
· About seven to fourteen days after taking Mifeprex: follow-up with the healthcare provider

Why is this important? The new utilization regime is a counter-move to the proliferation of TRAP anti-abortion access laws.
