Hi,
Thanks for the query.
MTP kit pills are a combination pack of two medicines namely, Mifepristone &
Misoprostol. Kit is used to terminate
pregnancy 49 to 63 days pregnancy.Pregnancy is confirmed before use of the kit.
- Mefepristone 200mg is taken to start; it acts to block
progesterone action
on embryo, thus arresting growth.
-After 24 hours, it is followed by Tab misoprostol (400 micrograms to800 micrograms)
It causes uterine contractions to expel the pregnancy.
It is inserted in vagina every 3 to 12 hours for 3-5 times, the dose & time adjustment done under a
gynecologist's guidance. (Depending on the size of Pregnancy & mother's health.)
- After expulsion in case of heavy bleeding/ / 2 weeks of starting treatment a gynecologist's consultation with through check up is a must -to ascertain complete abortion. In case of incomplete expulsion, surgical evacuation may be needed.
Use of MTP kit is not allowed in case of-
-
Allergic reaction to drug,
- suspected/ known ectopic pregnancy,

steroid therapy,

medical abortion, -
* A through physical check up before & after procedure
And
* To be under expert's Gynecologist's care
Is advised if one wants to use MTP kit safely..
I think, the answer has informed you well about MTP kit. Any further query is welcome.
