Is Mifepristone Advisable For Abortion?

Precautions advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Firstly I would like to suggest you that it is not safe to take the MTP pill yourself without consulting a gynecologist.
At most places it is not an over the counter drug and is available only on prescription but as you already have prescription and procured the kit then it has a specific pattern of intake
Kit consists of one large tablet of mifepristone to be taken at once and then after 48 hours of that take the rest of the tablets In kit which are four in number.
After taking full kit, abortion occurs anytime between 6 hours to 5 days.
But in few patients there can be an incomplete abortion or excessive bleeding per vaginum and in that case you have to visit a gynecologist.
I hope I have answered your question but in case you have other questions I will be happy to help.


Vaginal route best
Detailed Answer:
Yes you can take misoprostol with food or water without any interaction.
But best route is via vaginal insertion of tablets.


Symptoms explained
Detailed Answer:
In case bleeding continues for more than a week after completion of course of pills or there is severe pain not responsive to pain killers then it indicates incomplete abortion usually


Try to tolerate
Detailed Answer:
Frankly try not to take any medicine and bear the cramps if possible to ensure complete evacuation of the uterus but in case not able to tolerate then take Meftal spas or drotin tablet.


Tranexemic acid advised
Detailed Answer:
You are most welcome.
I understand your anxiety.
Mist likely there will not be any such situation but in case you get heavy flow then take tablet tranexemic acid three times a day till flow decreases.
But in case flow is not controlled even then, you must visit a gynecologist before things go out of hands.
All the best


Common side effect

Nothing to worry dear, this is a common side effect of mifepristone and might increase after misoprostol intake.
Take tablet ondansetron in the morning empty stomach and then take misoprostol after an hour or so with meals.
