RU-486
The abortion pill
This book describes the nature and effects of RU486, the drug prescribed for medical abortion. It provides information about its risks, the history of its development and use in Europe, the United States, and other overseas countries, and the controversy surrounding its introduction into Australia.
The possibilities for the use of this drug in the future are discussed - not only for medical abortion, but also for contraception, and the treatment of endometriosis, fibroids and cancers of the breast and brain. RU486, the book, is an important reference source for men and women, and health practitioners.
