Hi,
Because of a high risk of severe vaginal bleeding, cramps, infection, and
incomplete abortion it is NOT SAFE to use this kit without consulting a gynecologist. Moreover, the
pregnancy should be intrauterine (within the womb) and its duration should be less than 10 weeks.
Mifepristone should not be used if your pregnancy is outside the womb (ectopic pregnancy). It will not cause an abortion in this case. In fact, it may cause serious abdominal cramps and internal or external bleeding which can be dangerous.
The gynecologist would advise your girlfriend to take one tablet of Mifepristone, followed by 4 tablets of
Misoprostol after 1-3 days. If abortion fails to occur after the administration of Misoprostol, the second dose of Misoprostol (2 tablets) is administered.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
