Abortion is one of the major policy issues in this current election cycle. And one point of debate is mifepristone, a drug that’s commonly administered to induce abortions during the early stages of a pregnancy. Attorneys general in Idaho, Kansas and Missouri https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2024/10/17/gop-states-are-still-trying-to-restrict-abortion-pill-mifepristone-in-court-heres-how /" aria-label="filed a lawsuit">filed a lawsuit against the FDA last week aiming to roll back regulations that allowed the drug to be prescribed during a telehealth appointment.

But mifepristone isn’t only used for abortions. It’s also used as a treatment for patients with Cushing’s syndrome and is being tested as a treatment for other diseases. And new research https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19336934.2024.241915 1" aria-label="published this week">published this week found that the drug could also potentially be used to extend people’s lifespans.
