The scope of this article is to discuss the commercialization and use of misoprostol for abortion purposes in the illegal contexts that still persist in Brazil. The information presented was collected through case studies conducted with two young women who aborted using medication - one successfully and one unsuccessfully - and two adult women who have close ties with women who used misoprostol. The study confirms the hypothesis that the diffusion and expansion of the use of misoprostol outside the hospital context is associated with the decision of women who seek lower costs, lower risks to their health and privacy. It also permits examination of the interpretation that this increase in consumption is linked to the inclusion of the medication in a set of goods that are illegally traded in Brazil, in different ways and in different contexts. As a result, women are exposed to different degrees of vulnerability depending directly on the steps taken, types of mediation used and social networks they belong to. These are the ways in which women and men obtain access to the use of misoprostol for abortion, the outcome of which may be successful or not.
本文的范围是讨论米索前列醇在巴西仍然存在的非法情况下用于堕胎目的的商业化和使用情况。所呈现的信息是通过对两名使用药物堕胎的年轻女性（一名成功，一名失败）以及两名与使用米索前列醇的女性关系密切的成年女性进行案例研究收集而来的。该研究证实了这一假设，即米索前列醇在医院外使用的传播和扩大与寻求低成本、低健康风险和低隐私风险的女性的决定有关。它还允许审视这种消费增加与该药物以不同方式、在不同背景下被纳入巴西非法交易的一系列商品中的这种解释。结果，女性直接根据所采取的步骤、所使用的调解类型以及她们所属的社会网络而面临不同程度的脆弱性。这些就是男性和女性获取米索前列醇用于堕胎的方式，其结果可能成功也可能不成功。
