Mifegest Kit

Mifegest Kit is used for the medical termination of the pregnancy before 63 days after the first day of the last menses period. It also works in the second trimester of pregnancy. It contains Mifepristone and Misoprostol, which blocks the effects of the progesterone hormone required in women to continue the pregnancy. Also, it increases the womb's (uterus) contraction and dilates the cervix, thereby expelling the pregnancy. In some cases, you may experience side effects such as nausea, uterine cramps, vomiting, diarrhoea, infection following abortion, dizziness, and uterine bleeding. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
