Toxicities of Herbal Abortifacients — National Library of Medicine - Clover - Feb 1 2025

Quote:In the post-Roe era, barriers to facility-based abortions may lead to an increased incidence of self-managed abortions. While misoprostol-based medication abortions have significant literature supporting its safety profile, there is a knowledge deficit within the medical community regarding the toxicities of commonly used herbal abortifacients.
[...]
There is an anticipated increase in the utility of herbal xenobiotics for self-managed abortions with post-Roe restrictions to standard mifepristone-misoprostol protocols. Frontline providers should be aware of the associated toxicities and have special considerations when treating a poisoned patient in this population.
I recommend to back up as many NLM articles regarding abortion as possible, given the overreaching anti-woman pro-forced-birth behavior of the current administration.
