Walgreens expects to offer abortion pills after the Food and Drug Administration changed its rules for the drug.
“We are working through the registration, necessary training of our pharmacists, as well as evaluating our pharmacy network in terms of where we normally dispense products that have extra FDA requirements and will dispense these consistent with federal and state laws,” a Walgreens spokesman told medical publication STAT News on Wednesday.
The FDA altered its requirements for selling mifepristone on Tuesday, allowing retail pharmacies such as Walgreens to offer the medication for the first time.
