Overview
  1. Mifepristone is difficult to access. It is not easily found in pharmacies, it is not available over the counter, it is not even found in hospitals. Only health institutions can buy from distributors.
    Accompaniment networks are the safest and most reliable way to get them. The pills are often offered on the internet but they are of dubious origin and are often false advertisements and scams.

    Misoprostol is available in pharmacies by prescription only. It is also available in hospitals but for internal use.
    It is also difficult to access, although easier than mifepristone because the drug is more widely available. The fact that it is sold by prescription makes it difficult to access.
    Like mifepristone, the safest way to get misoprostol is to do it through accompaniment networks.

    Voluntary abortion continues to be penalized. Several of the feminist and accompaniment groups will be able to provide advice, in some cases information and in other cases loving accompaniment.

    During and after the pandemic and due to the legal and social criminalization of abortion in Bolivia, pregnant women and people who require or wish to have an abortion are being defrauded with the sale of pills, for this reason it is advisable to resort to a collective or organization feminist.

  2. Although it may be challenging to obtain abortion pills, they can be acquired through international organizations and institutions such as IPAS Bolivia, or through feminist and accompaniment organizations. - see how to use abortion pill - last accessed March 2023
