Why selling abortion kits without prescription is dangerous
Doctors say using abortion kits without proper guidance can be very risky. These kits should only be given by doctors who can check if the pregnancy is in the right place and if it's safe to use the pills. Doctors also need to give follow-up care. Many young women have faced serious health problems after using these kits without a doctor's help.

The Delhi Drugs Control Department has started taking action against the chemists who broke the rules. Follow The Rising News for more verified updates.
