The Latest on Mifepristone

CEimpact Podcast

Today's episode is an absolute must-listen to. The FDA's decision to approve the drug, Mifepristone, has been escalated in a lawsuit to the U.S. Supreme Court. And, last week, in a unanimous 9-0 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the challenge to the drug's approval. Today on our podcast, we are answering what exactly is happening with the drug Mifepristone, the legal challenges associated with this medication, and how this U.S. Supreme Court ruling directly impacts pharmacists today.

Regardless of your position on this topic, knowing and understanding the history and why the mifepristone conversation is happening is critical.

By the time you finish listening, you'll be inspired to take immediate action to join your local and state-level pharmacy association.
