Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Mensovit is a tablet used to bring the period when there is a delay. It is used to regularize menstrual cycle. It does not bring about abortion.
If you wish to abort this pregnancy, first consult your family physician/gynecologist. Before the treatment, it is important to have an examination to make sure that the pregnancy is in the uterus and you do not have contraindications for the medicine.
In medical abortion, there are two types of medicines (antiprogesterone and prostaglandin) used for abortion. Medical abortion is about 95% effective. Most women (80%) abort within 24 hours of taking the second pill. Some take little longer.
After aborting the pregnancy, you may have light bleeding for 2 weeks. Get an ultrasound done after 2 weeks to make sure that the abortion process is complete.
If you have heavy bleeding (soaks 2 pads/hour for more than 2 hours) or if the bleeding persists even after 2 weeks, you must see the doctor. To avoid such unnecessary stress, I advise you to consult your doctor and start regular contraception like hormonal contraception or have an intrauterine device fitted as they are very effective in preventing pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Radha Narayanan
