Patients are required to have a follow-up consultation with prescribers.

A follow-up with dispensers is optional and can take place 2 – 3 days after MISO administration. During the follow-up, dispensers can do the following[9,10]:

• Verify appropriate administration
• Review side effect management
• Review contraception options
• Reinforce prescriber follow-up
• Provide emotional support

Emotional response after MA often vary. Some people feel relieved and positive and some have feelings of grief, sadness, or guilt while others have mixed feelings. These emotions are normal, and they may or may not be related to socioeconomic circumstances, the lack of social support, moral discomfort, and family conflict.

Patients can be supported by understanding that mixed emotions are normal and by exploring coping strategies and support. Useful resources include:

• Exhale, a talk-line that provides emotional support, resources and information after abortion.
• All-Options, a talk-line to discuss past or current experience with abortion, adoption and parenting for people in Canada and the United States (1-888-493-0092).
