There are no medicinal products with a marketing authorisation in Ireland for the termination of pregnancy. Literature indicates that mifepristone alone, or in combination with misoprostol, may be used for the medical termination of pregnancy, or for the induction of labour following miscarriage.
There are currently no medicinal products containing mifepristone authorised for use in Ireland. There are 2 medicinal products containing misoprostol-only, authorised for use in Ireland, neither of which have an indication for medical termination of a pregnancy as part of that marketing authorisation.
