HB 1533 would have prohibited knowingly dispensing abortion-inducing drugs by anyone other than a physician and would have required that the physician follow the drug label protocol for the abortion-inducing drug.
Before dispensing an abortion-inducing drug, a licensed physician must do the following:
The bill also would have required the physician to make reasonable efforts to ensure that the patient returns for a follow-up visit 14 days after the administration or use of the drug, and to document such efforts by including in the woman’s medical record the date, time, and name of the person making the effort.
The bill would have required physicians to report adverse events after a medication abortion to the FDA through the MedWatch Reporting System and to the medical licensing board of Indiana not later than three days following the physician’s knowledge of the adverse event third day after the date the physician learns of the occurrence.
