It's on prescription in most parts of the world. It is also not the only pill you need for medication abortion. Mifepristone at a lower dose is also available in some Asian countries for use as emergency contraception.

Medical Abortions:These abortions use medication to end the pregnancy. This can be accomplished with a variety of medications given either as a single pill or a series of pills. It is commonly known as the Abortion Pill -- RU486 (brand name Mifeprex). Medical abortion causes an early abortion through the combination of the two medications, mifepristone and misoprostol. This method is FDA approved for use up to 49 days after one's last menstrual period or if a woman is 7 weeks pregnant (which equals 5 weeks since conception) and is 92% to 98% effective, allowing a woman to completely pass the pregnancy without the use of surgery. Please be aware that a medical abortion is not FDA approved if it has been more than 49 days since your last menstrual period; some healthcare providers will still use this method after this point, but it is off label (meaning, no longer FDA approved).
