Brief Answer:
You can take Mifegest Kit only after having a Confirmatory scan.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.

I understand your query and concern.

Its extremely important to get an Obstetric scan and stage the duration of the the product of conceptus if any.

Mifegest kit can be used till 63 days of missed period since the last menstrual period.

As per your history you can take mifegest kit,but only after you have a scan.

Yes this medicine has adverse effects on your baby as the drug is secreted in breast milk.

Hence I advise you to avoid possible breast feeding for 3-5 days since using Mifegest Kit.

Please note these drugs have to be taken only under strict medical prescription and supervision of your Gynecologist.

Thank you.

Brief Answer:
No evil effects on surgical stitches.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.

I understand your concern.

Yes its very important to have a scan inspite of a positive urine preg test.

Scan will localise the exact site of product of conception and its exact size.

This will have some implication on the treatment aspects as well.

As of now this drug will not have an affect on stitches(scars) after 9 months.

Thank you.
