I’ve taken misoprostol/cytotec 3 times for very wanted pregnancies (iui and ivf) that ended in missed miscarriages, discovered at a routine ultrasound. This happens when the baby stops growing but your body doesn’t realize it. My insurance denied a d&c and my option was medication to induce the physical miscarriage. I live in a fairly progressive state (Nevada) and still was criticized by the pharmacist when filling the prescription. They didn’t know my story or how badly I’ve been trying for a baby-for over 3 years! It’s a very needed medication for various reasons, abortions included.
I could have elaborated but didn’t feel that it was her business to decide what medications my doctor and I agree upon me taking. I suppose it could have taught her not to assume but I was about to induce a miscarriage of a very wanted pregnancy and didn’t have it in me to discuss it at the time. I took her judgement and my pills and prepared for the most terrible experience a person can go through.

The pharmacist was a woman.
Me too. Either way it was uncomfortable.
