Overview
  1. “Mifepristone hasn't been registered yet, but black market exists. Also people are contacting NGOs, such as WOW , WHW. Various types of combipack are available in black market. Misoprostol is registered for ulcer medication in KFDA, so using miso for abortion or PPH is off-label. Access to Misoprostol is not difficult, not easy. Because it's off-label (not used for its official registration purpose), Doctors (including primary physician, OBGYN specialist) are reluctant to prescribe it.” Dr. Jungwon Yoon / OBGYN doctor of National medical center - November 2022
  2. "Misoprostol is difficult to access just from the pharmacies.
    It might be prescribed from the doctor if the doctor finds it necessary to do so. ( but still difficult)" - Anonymous - November 2022
  3. "People can access Mifepristone via Internet, but some sellers are not safe and do not know/give the right instructions. This can be (legally) risky if people take the pills unknowingly if there pregnancy is very far along (for example 20 weeks)" - Anonymous - November 2022
