Is the abortion pill available in Canada?
Yes, a medical abortion or “the abortion pill” is provided in Canada, but it is a different pill combination than what is used in most countries. “Medical abortion is available in Canada on a limited basis using methotrexate and misoprostol; mifepristone is not legally approved, and importation of that drug in Canada is currently illegal. Clinical trials were done in 2000 in various Canadian cities comparing methotrexate to mifepristone, after approbation by the federal government. While both drugs had overall similar results, mifepristone was found to act faster.[68] As of May 2005, it is unclear whether or when RU-486 will be approved for use in Canada.” So, Canada prescribes methotrexate and misopristol, while most other countries “the abortion pill” would be misopristol and mifepristone. If you meant Plan B, an emergency contraceptive to be taken within 72 hours of intercourse that could result in conception, this is also widely available in Canada, but is not known as the abortion
