ANSWER: Dear Charizza,
I'm doubtful that clorets can cause abortions. I think it is best to follow my directions in the other email.
Good luck!

QUESTION: dr.joan, where can we get the ru486 tablet? is it possible that this tablet will be sold in any drugstore here in the philippines??
AnswerCharizza - I'm sorry I don't know how RU486 is provided in the Philippines, but it probably is not available in drugstores or pharmacies. Your best bet is to ask around to everyone you know. Usually there is some way to get an abortion even when it is illegal. I wish I could help you more.
Good luck, and let me know what happens,
