1. "The products are available in pharmacies, however it is difficult to obtain a prescription for Mifepristone and find it. Misoprostol is easier to get without a prescription from a pharmacy. It is possible to have an abortion with only Misoprostol registered in the majority of West and Central African countries. Abortion Pills are often not available in public hospitals. You can search for the name of a provider to obtain a prescription on a site with a reliable database. Or at best get this prescription online, buy the combipack at the pharmacy and have access to online support during the process. Of course, there are all sorts of scams for clandestine abortions. Especially on facebook or what'sapp." - Anonymous - February 2023
