Overview
  1. "Mifepristone is not sold under a prescription, it is not available in pharmacies, drugstores or hospitals. It is hard to get.
    Misoprostol is available only in hospitals. and in some pharmacies. It is difficult to get it outside the public health system."
    Entre Nosotras - December 2022
  2. “Despite its availability in certain spaces, access is very limited and the quality varies according to the provider. It is difficult to assess matters of availability, access, and quality due to the informality. It is sold in pharmacies but the sells tend to be discretional (depending on the pharmacists, the pharmacy, etc). Users would need to present a prescription in most cases. It varies according to the state and it is apparently more accessible in urban centers. Warnings in Venezuela: vendors providing fake or low-quality medication; healthcare staff without comprehensive training on abortion care (D&C still popular) healthcare staff without comprehensive knowledge of post-abortion care.” - Vitala Global (Aya Contigo), December 2022
