Key PointsQuestionIs medication abortion with mail-order pharmacy dispensing of mifepristone effective, acceptable, and feasible? FindingsThis prospective cohort study included 506 participants and 510 medication abortions (≤63 days’ gestation at enrollment) that were provided through mail-order pharmacy dispensing after an in-person eligibility screening; 97.8% were complete abortions and 91.2% of participants reported satisfaction with medication abortion. Serious adverse events were rare (0.6%) and none were associated with mail-order dispensing. MeaningThese findings support the US Food and Drug Administration’s decision to remove the in-person dispensing requirement for mifepristone.
