Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Medical abortion at home without doctor's prescription and guidance is NOT recommended. For proper dosing and direction of using those pills, you need to consult with local doctor, which will be helpful also in emergency.
It can be done up to 9 wk safely by using abortion pills (Tab Misoprostol and Tab Mifepristone, present in MTP Kit) under observation or guidance of gynecologist as it may cause unnecessary excessive vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain etc and may require surgical method (D & C) to complete abortion. Don't take those pills by yourself.
Practice safe sex and use emergency pill or condom to avoid unwanted pregnancy in future. Good luck.

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
You can not used MTP kit at home as it is illegal.
You required medical prescription for it.
After prescription you can used MTP kit under the supervision of doctor.
Only one kit is enough.
Take mifepristone 600 mg orally.
After taking it, take Two tablet of misoprostol 200 mg orally.
And another two tablet 200 mg should be put in vagina.
Bleeding will be occur with in 4-7 days after putting tablet.
You should also undergo the USG to know the incomplete abortion.
If it is incomplete, it needed minor surgery to remove it.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
