Can you buy RU486 at the drugstore?

Answer 1

Depends on what country you are in. In some countries it is illegal to sell,

Here in Canada, while there are no actual laws about selling it, but there are medical and pharmaceutical regulations saying that it has to be given under doctor supervision due to the toxic dangers of the drug. Technically you can get it from any doctors office here, but most doctors here prefer you go to an OBGYN or Abortionist in case of complications. Many physicians do an ultrasound to make sure that the pregnancy is not too far along for the drug to be effective, and look for other potential complications before Mifepristone/Ru486 is taken.

In some countries it is readily available from any Pharmacist by request. In some countries like the United States, it it only available at select clinics in some states. In many countries it is banned altogether.

It can be ordered online, but there are many fake websites out there selling fake pills for a massive profit, while there are others that are run by pro-life individuals and groups that simply make you wait for pills that never come.

I have personally ordered them online from a company in Holland and have never used the two doses I have here. I am a man and a medical professional and I keep them in the medicine cabinet in plain view along with other emergency contraceptives and pregnacy tests to ensure that the women I date know that I am serious that I don't want to be a parent and keep simple effective options immediately available for them.
