U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has temporarily put a lower court order imposing significant restrictions on the distribution of the abortion drug mifepristone on hold through Friday night as the high court considers a request by the Biden administration to block the restrictions.
on the distribution of the abortion drug mifepristone on hold through Friday night as the high court considers a request by the Biden administration to block the restrictions.
At least through Friday, there will be no new restrictions on mifepristone. Both the Biden administration and Danco Laboratories, which sells the brand name version of the drug, have said if the Supreme Court allows the restrictions to take effect, mifepristone could be unavailable for months while the company changes its label and distribution system to comply.
The Biden administration said in its petition to the Supreme Court that the FDA cannot comply with both orders., potentially allowing it to preserve less restricted access to the drug at least while the case is proceeding. However, the agency has so far given no indication that it is considering that step.Yes.
The FDA will need to produce evidence about the process leading to mifepristone's original approval in 2000, as well as for the changes it made in 2016 and later.
