世界の標準と日本の現実——知らなかった「中絶薬」のすべてがここに!

中絶薬について、日本ではまだ十分な情報が一般に知られていません。本書は、中絶薬の仕組み、国際的な動向、日本の現状、そして実際の使用に関する知識 を網羅的に解説する、日本初の包括的ガイドです。

(English: The world’s standard and Japan’s reality – everything you didn’t know about abortion pills! Not enough information about abortion pills is yet available to the general public in Japan. This is the first comprehensive guide to abortion pills in Japan, providing a comprehensive overview of how they work, international trends, the current situation in Japan and knowledge about their actual use.)

From International Campaign for Safe Abortion: “This book, in Japanese only, addresses a critical void in Japan’s reproductive healthcare landscape. Currently, there is a severe lack of accurate, scientific information about abortion pills (mifepristone and misoprostol) available in Japanese. More concerning is the spread of scientifically unfounded claims about the safety of abortion pills by some medical professionals and government officials. Even pharmaceutical companies appear to be providing different information in Japan compared to other countries, possibly in deference to local medical and governmental preferences.”
