Thanks for contacting with your health concern

1. MTP kit is an abortion pill used for medical termination of pregnancy up to 49 days of gestation. The single tablet which you took was mifepristone [200 mg] and one should take misoprostol 800 mcg orally [ 4 tablets] once as a single dose in a minimum of 24 HR and maximum of 48 hrs of taking mifepristone. After full flow bleeding like periods spotting can be there for at least 15-20 days.

PS. although while using this medicine, abortion can be done at home, you still need to follow up with a GYN/OBG Doctor since she will be in a better position to establish the following facts before and after the procedure:

i. Was the product of conception evacuated completely?
ii. Whether he/she is empowered to perform MTP.

2. Kindly get an ultrasound of lower abdomen done after the bleeding stops to check if any residual of conception is left inside because incomplete abortion can cause infections and consult with a Gynecologist.

PS. Abortion pills can only be taken under supervision as they may cause incomplete abortion, severe bleeding, and infection of the uterus which can affect the future possibility of conception or pregnancy.

3. although you were prescribed the kit by a gynecologist, remember that: the MTP [medical termination of pregnancy] Act defines the place, person and the conditions under which a pregnancy can be terminated. Under the act, abortion can be provided only by a registered medical practitioner who has the necessary qualification, training, and experience in performing MTP and only at a place which has the facilities, meeting standards specified in the Rules and Regulations of the MTP Act. It is illegal and unethical to try abortion through an internet search and web information.

PS. Without an opportunity to physically examine the patient and monitor the process of termination, it is very unsafe and unethical on my part to suggest you the measures. So please visit your healthcare provider for safe termination.
