“The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday quietly approved a generic form of #mifepristone, one of the two medications used in most U.S. abortions.
That makes the drug, from the company Evita Solutions, the second generic version to hit the market. The first, from pharmaceutical company GenBioPro, was approved in 2019.
Mifepristone is typically used in combination with another pill, #misoprostol, to induce abortions. Medication abortions account for nearly two-thirds of #abortion in the U.S.”
