Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Meprate is a type of progesterone pill and contains medroxyprogesterone acetate as active ingredient.

If you had taken the pill before confirmation of pregnancy, then ill-effect to your fetus is very much rare or minimal.

It may cause virilization of female fetus in few percentage cases. However, it is quite unlike if you had taken just for 5 days.

Do one ultrasound scan and other anomaly tests before deciding for abortion. In most cases, it DOESN'T cause any type of congenital anomaly of the growing fetus and women deliver healthy baby.

Hope, I have answered your query. Do periodic check up to your doctor and proceed other necessary tests. Good luck.
