Abortion pill sales drop in India

July 8, 2012 by Jennifer Derwey 2 Comments

Sales of abortion pills/kits in India have fallen between 65 and 78 percent in Mumbai, India. This is due to the FDA there cracking down on the drugs being pushed by pharmaceutical companies in the form of marketing schemes and “deals” on the product.

Following the decision of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to tighten the screws on the sale of abortion pills, sale of such drugs has dropped by a whopping 78% across the state.

[…] Commenting on the trend of pharmaceutical companies pushing sale of such drugs, he said companies through their medical representatives are luring doctors with schemes like ‘buy 1 get 5 free’. “This is a serious trend and we are going to take action against them,’’ he said.

    In my opinion, this is good news. I guess this means that women in India are becoming more responsible. And I commend also the good works of FDA. I think it is safe to say that they are really doing their job as evidence by the obvious decrease in sales of these abortive drugs.
