Baulieu does, however, believe the pill could be administered by gynecologists outside of a clinic environment. He supports the "two-visit" plan: the woman is examined, takes the first set of pills, goes home, takes the second two days later, and returns to the doctor to make sure the process has been completely effective.

An oral prostaglandin, commercially marketed as Cytotec by the American manufacturer G.D. Searle, enabled women to abort simply by swallowing a combination of pills. The efficiency rate rose from 95.5% to 96.9%, and the speed of the procedure improved. In 61% of the cases, the uterine contents were expelled within four hours after taking Cytotec, in contrast to 47% in the case of prostaglandin injections. Although there were instances of nausea and diarrhea, which are also common...
