Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
It is not advisable to use the kit without consulting a gynaecologist.
First the pregnancy should be confirmed and dated by a doctor.
Next the drug should be taken in correct dosage and regimen.
Otherwise, there could be complications such as severe bleeding, infection, urgent need for hospitalization, retained products etc.
A follow up scan after 15 days is essential to know if the abortion was complete.
Take care.
