President Trump plans to remove FDA Commissioner Marty Makary amid disputes over vaping policy, the abortion pill, and drug rejections. A leadership change at the agency could shift approval timelines and regulatory priorities affecting pharma and biotech sectors.
A federal court has ordered that mifepristone, the most commonly used abortion pill in the U.S., can only be dispensed in person at clinics, overriding FDA rules that allowed mail delivery. The ruling is expected to be appealed to the Supreme Court, leaving access and compliance obligations uncertain in the interim.
A federal appeals court has blocked mailing of mifepristone, the abortion pill used in most U.S. medication abortions. The ruling cuts off a key delivery channel for patients in states with limited in-person abortion access, with legal challenges expected.
A federal appeals court ruled that mifepristone cannot be mailed to patients, targeting the telehealth prescription model that became a primary route for abortion access after Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022.
A federal appeals court granted Louisiana's request to reinstate a nationwide in-person requirement for dispensing abortion pills, ending mail and telehealth access. Patients across the country, including in states where abortion is legal, must now visit a provider in person to obtain the medication.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that mifepristone, the most-used abortion pill in the U.S., can no longer be mailed and must be dispensed only at clinics in person.
