Missouri patients face troubles getting common post-miscarriage medicine at local drug-stores. Medical staff reports chain pharmacies turn away people due to stateʼs strict health-care laws

In missouriʼs health-care system since late-2022 (when stateʼs no-abortion law started) local doctors see a troubling pattern at chain drug-stores.

Dr Laura Parisi an ob-gyn specialist describes how her patients face un-expected problems: pharmacies dont give them misoprostol — a common-place medicine for after-miscarriage care. The reason behind this odd situation; some pharmacies worry this drug might be used for non-allowed purposes

Its heartbreaking. For a patient to have the worst day of their life just having had a miscarriage and then to be made to feel like a criminal‚ its devastating

Dr Parisi explains

The real-world impact shows how strict health rules affect day-to-day medical care — patients who need basic treatment after pregnancy loss face extra road-blocks at medicine counters (making an already hard time even harder for them)
