US Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Case That Could Impact Nationwide Abortion Pill Access

US Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Case , That Could Impact Nationwide , Abortion Pill Access.

On December 13, the United States Supreme Court agreed to hear arguments in a case regarding the most widely-used abortion pill in the nation.

'The Guardian' reports that it will be the first time the highest court hears an abortion rights case since overturning Roe v.

Wade in 2022.

The case could determine the future of access to the pill and the Federal Drug Administration's authority to regulate a number of medications.

Last year, the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, a group of anti-abortion organizations and doctors, filed a federal lawsuit against the FDA.

The lawsuit accuses the agency of overstepping its authority by approving mifepristone, one of two drugs commonly used in abortions, in 2000.

In April, a federal judge in Texas suspended the FDA's approval of mifepristone and had the medication pulled from the market.

In August, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that the FDA should significantly restrict access to mifepristone.

.

In response, the Biden administration and Danco Laboratories, the manufacturer of mifepristone, called on the Supreme Court to hear the case.

The Supreme Court paused lower-court rulings until justices issue a judgement, resulting in mifepristone remaining widely available in states where abortions are legal.

However, 'The Guardian' reports that the outcome of the case would impact all 50 states, including those with protected abortion rights.

Experts' Tips on Taking Supplements as Sleep-Aids

Experts' Tips on Taking, Supplements as Sleep-Aids. 'Time' recently spoke with experts regarding over-the-counter sleep aids and whether they can really help someone with insomnia. 'Time' recently spoke with experts regarding over-the-counter sleep aids and whether they can really help someone with insomnia. Melatonin has become a popular supplement in recent years for being a safe and effective sleep aid. According to a 2023 study by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), nearly two-thirds of people in the United States have tried using melatonin to help them sleep. . It’s not something that is generally harmful or toxic, which is probably why people are tempted to take more when a little bit doesn’t work, Dr. Milena Pavlova, neurologist at Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital and an associate professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, via 'Time'. 'Time' points out that supplements, such as melatonin, are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Similar to melatonin, over-the-counter antihistamines like Benadryl have become a popular sleep-aid due to containing doxylamine, which causes drowsiness. However, doxylamine also comes with a number of side effects, including a potential hangover the next day. The big problem with antihistamines is they can make people extremely groggy and really impair cognitive function the next day, Dr. Indira Gurubhagavatula, professor of medicine in the division of sleep medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, via 'Time'. While antihistamines can induce drowsiness, they don't normally result in quality, restorative sleep. Experts suggest eliminating things that prevent healthy sleep, like alcohol and caffeine, while also incorporating physical activity into your daily routine.
