Unwanted Tablet 1's

Unwanted Tablet is used in combination with Misoprostol to induce a medical abortion. It is primarily used to end an early pregnancy (lasting up to 70 days or less than this) or an unwanted pregnancy with medication help. It contains Mifepristone, which works by blocking the effect of progesterone (female hormone), needed to sustain a 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.

Health Queries

I am 18 years old and pregnant. I need Unwanted Kit to terminate this pregnancy.

Bayyarapu Mahesh Kumar

Bayyarapu Mahesh Kumar

Unwanted Kit is a controlled prescription medicine used for medical termination of pregnancy. It should not be taken without medical supervision, and in India, it is not legally sold online. If you are pregnant and considering abortion, you must consult a gynaecologist. The doctor will assess the stage and condition of your pregnancy, as well as your overall health, and advise the safest and legally approved option for you. Self‑medication can cause serious complications such as heavy bleeding, incomplete abortion, infection, or severe pain.

What is the use of Unwanted Tablet?

Chandrakanta Jena

Pharm D

Unwanted Tablet (Mifepristone) is used to terminate an early pregnancy in a safe medical setting. It works by blocking the effect of progesterone, a female hormone needed for a pregnancy to continue. When progesterone is blocked, the lining of the womb breaks down, and the pregnancy stops growing. This medicine is usually taken first, followed by another medicine called Misoprostol after 24 to 48 hours to complete the abortion process. It is also used to treat Cushing’s syndrome by helping to control excess cortisol levels. In some cases, it may be prescribed to regulate a delayed menstrual cycle and prevent ovulation (the release of a mature egg). It is not suitable for people with ectopic pregnancy (a condition where a fertilised egg implants outside the womb) or bleeding disorders. This medicine should never be used without a doctor’s guidance.

Is the Unwanted Tablet used for pregnancy termination (abortion)?

Bayyarapu Mahesh Kumar

Bayyarapu Mahesh Kumar

M Pharmacy

The Unwanted Tablet is part of a medically approved regimen for early pregnancy termination, but it must only be used under strict medical guidance because a doctor needs to confirm the pregnancy is within the safe gestational limit, rule out conditions like ectopic pregnancy, prescribe the correct combination and dosage (usually with Misoprostol), and monitor for risks such as heavy bleeding, incomplete abortion, or infection; medical supervision also ensures proper follow‑up care and compliance with legal requirements, making unsupervised use potentially dangerous.

Unwanted Tablet is a controlled medication in India and is not available for free sale. It should never be self‑medicated, as it must be taken only under the supervision of a registered gynaecologist after proper evaluation and tests. A doctor will determine whether it is appropriate and safely prescribe the correct regimen. Using it without medical guidance can lead to serious health risks, so consulting a qualified gynaecologist is the only safe way to access this treatment.
