Introduction: Until December 2021, the United States Food and Drug Administration impeded abortion access by restricting pharmacists from dispensing mifepristone, one of two drugs used in medication abortion. This study aimed to explore pharmacists' perspectives on dispensing mifepristone.
Methods: We conducted semistructured interviews with pharmacists before and after participating in a pilot project where mifepristone was dispensed from their pharmacies.

Context: Medication abortion has the potential to transform the provision of safe abortion care in low- and middle-income countries, and can be provided with minimal clinical skills and equipment. In Nepal, first-trimester abortion using mifepristone and misoprostol is legally available at government-certified health facilities, but little is known about pharmacy workers' perspectives regarding pharmacy-based provision.
Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted in 2015 with 19 pharmacy owners and auxiliary nurse-midwives in two districts of Nepal to examine respondents' views on medication abortion and on potential legal provision of medication abortion from pharmacies.

Objective: To assess the feasibility of using an at-home multilevel pregnancy test (MLPT) and interactive voice response (IVR) call-in system for remote follow-up of medical abortion.
Methods: A prospective pilot study was conducted among women who had a medical abortion at up to 70 days at a clinic in Mexico City, Mexico, between June 1, 2015, and January 30, 2016. Participants took an MLPT at the initial clinic visit and another MLPT at home 2 weeks later.
