info

Instakit Kit Tablet 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.

About Instakit Kit Tablet

Instakit Kit Tablet is a combination prescription medicine taken orally for the medical termination of an early pregnancy, typically up to 70 days or 10 weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period. This medication is prescribed under strict medical supervision to safely end an early pregnancy without the need for immediate surgical intervention. It is highly effective when taken exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.

This treatment involves a specific, sequential dosing schedule that must be followed precisely as directed by your doctor, rather than a continuous daily routine. The tablets are typically taken orally, with or without food, though taking them with a light, non-greasy meal may help manage potential nausea. Staying hydrated and resting in a comfortable environment during the process will help support your body's recovery.

Common side effects include abdominal cramping, vaginal bleeding, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and dizziness. While bleeding and cramping are expected parts of the process, you must contact your doctor or seek emergency medical care immediately if you experience excessively heavy bleeding (soaking through more than two thick sanitary pads per hour for two consecutive hours), severe pain, or a high fever.

Before starting Instakit Kit Tablet, tell your doctor if you have an intrauterine device (IUD) in place, an ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside the womb), chronic adrenal failure, severe anaemia, or bleeding disorders. Do not take this medicine if you have a known allergy to any of its ingredients, have an unconfirmed pregnancy, or do not have close access to emergency medical services.

This medication can interact with other drugs such as certain blood thinners, steroids, and liver enzyme-affecting medicines, which can alter how the treatment works or increase bleeding risks. Avoid drinking alcohol or smoking during this treatment, as they can worsen side effects like dizziness, nausea, and dehydration. If you are breastfeeding or have underlying medical conditions, discuss the safety and timing of this treatment with your doctor.

Uses of Instakit Kit Tablet

Instakit Kit Tablet may be prescribed for the following conditions: 

  • Medical termination of intrauterine pregnancy: Instakit Kit Tablet helps end an early pregnancy (up to 10 weeks or 70 days of gestation) by blocking the hormones necessary for the pregnancy to continue and causing the uterus to empty.
  • Management of early pregnancy loss (miscarriage): In certain cases of incomplete miscarriage or missed abortion, Instakit Kit Tablet helps clear the remaining tissue from the uterus safely and completely.

Key Benefits

Instakit Kit Tablet offers a non-surgical option for ending an early pregnancy, allowing the process to take place in a private and comfortable setting under medical supervision. Some of the key benefits of this treatment include:

  • Avoids surgical anaesthesia: Since this is an oral medication regimen, it eliminates the risks and anxiety associated with general or local anaesthesia used in surgical procedures.
  • High success rate: When taken within the recommended timeframe and in the correct sequence, this combination is highly effective at completely clearing the uterus.
  • Privacy and control: It allows you to plan the second step of the process at home or in a familiar environment where you can have supportive care nearby.

Directions for Use

  • Instakit Kit Tablet should be taken on an empty stomach or as advised by your doctor.
  • Take Instakit Kit Tablet exactly as directed by your doctor. Misoprostol should be taken 36 to 48 hours after mifepristone.
  • Swallow Instakit Kit Tablet as a whole with a glass of water.
  • Do not crush, break, or chew it.

How Instakit Kit Tablet Works

Instakit Kit Tablet contains mifepristone and misoprostol, which work together to medically terminate an early pregnancy. Mifepristone works by blocking the action of progesterone, a hormone that is essential for maintaining pregnancy. Without adequate progesterone activity, the lining of the uterus begins to break down, causing the pregnancy to detach from the uterine wall and stop developing. Misoprostol is usually taken 24 to 48 hours after mifepristone. It works by softening and dilating the cervix and stimulating contractions of the uterus. These contractions help expel the pregnancy tissue from the uterus through the vagina. Together, these actions help complete the medical termination process by ending the pregnancy and allowing the uterus to empty its contents

FAQs

Instakit Kit Tablet is used for the medical termination of the pregnancy before 63 days after the first day of the last menses period. Instakit Kit Tablet also works in the second trimester of pregnancy.
Instakit Kit Tablet contains Mifepristone and Misoprostol. Mifepristone works by blocking the effect of progesterone (female hormone), which is needed to sustain a pregnancy. In the absence of progesterone, the lining of the uterus breaks down as it does every month during the menstrual cycle, and the growth of pregnancy is stopped. Misoprostol is a prostaglandin analogue that helps increase uterine contractions and relaxes the cervix. Misoprostol should be taken 24-36 hours after taking mifepristone, either orally or vaginally.
No, Instakit Kit Tablet should be taken in the dose and duration as advised by the doctor. Taking it in more than the recommended dose might cause unpleasant side effects like excessive uterine or vaginal bleeding.
No, Instakit Kit Tablet is not known to affect any future chances of pregnancy. Instakit Kit Tablet is used for medical abortion of early or unwanted pregnancy.
After taking Instakit Kit Tablet, you may or may not experience vaginal bleeding, which does not indicate complete abortion. Your doctor will examine with the performing ultrasonography to confirm if the abortion is complete.
Do not take Instakit Kit Tablet, if you have a heart fitted with an artificial valve, heart diseases like high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol levels (increased fat in your blood), have asthma, have blood clot problems, have a bleeding disorder, have liver or kidney disease, have anaemia (low haemoglobin) or otherwise malnourished. Taking Instakit Kit Tablet in these conditions can cause life-threatening conditions in an individual.

Taking Instakit Kit Tablet with these medications may cause negative complications. It's essential to inform your doctor about all medications and health histories you are taking, and they will assess your condition and help manage it to avoid complications.
You should take Instakit Kit Tablet exactly as directed by your doctor. Your doctor will determine the dose and duration based on your pregnancy status, menstrual cycle, medical history, and especially sexual intimation time history. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and complete the full course as prescribed for a safe and healthy abortion process.
The common side effects of Instakit Kit Tablet may include nausea, uterine cramps, vomiting, diarrhoea, infection following abortion, dizziness, and uterine bleeding. Most of these side effects of Instakit Kit Tablet subside with time. If these symptoms become worse, please consult a doctor for relief.
Bleeding and cramping typically begin within 1 to 4 hours after taking the second part of the medication, though it can sometimes take up to 24 hours. The heaviest bleeding and most intense cramping usually occur while the pregnancy tissue is being passed. Talk to your doctor if you do not experience any bleeding within 24 hours of taking the second medicine.
Yes, the bleeding is usually much heavier than a normal menstrual period and is often accompanied by large blood clots and cramping. This is a normal part of how the medication clears the pregnancy from your body. Talk to your doctor if the bleeding is light or if it is excessively heavy, such as soaking through two pads an hour for two hours in a row.
Yes, your doctor will often recommend or prescribe specific pain medications, such as ibuprofen, to help manage the cramping. Avoid taking aspirin, as it can potentially increase bleeding. Always talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking any over-the-counter pain medicines during this treatment.
If you vomit shortly after taking either of the medications (especially within 30 to 45 minutes), some of the medicine may not have been fully absorbed. Call your doctor or clinic immediately to find out if you need to take another dose. Talk to your doctor about anti-nausea medications that can help prevent this.
The only way to confirm that the treatment was completely successful and that no pregnancy tissue remains in your uterus is to have a follow-up assessment. This is usually done 7 to 14 days after the treatment through an ultrasound, blood test, or a specific clinic evaluation. Talk to your doctor to schedule this critical visit.
The active ingredients can pass into breast milk in small amounts, which might cause mild diarrhoea in a breastfed infant. Many doctors advise discarding breast milk or pausing breastfeeding for a short period (such as 24 to 48 hours) after taking the second medication. Talk to your doctor to get personalised advice based on your situation.
Most women see their normal menstrual cycle return within 4 to 8 weeks after the treatment is completed. Keep in mind that you can become pregnant again almost immediately after the pregnancy is ended, even before your period returns. Talk to your doctor about starting a reliable method of birth control.
You should seek emergency medical care immediately if you experience extremely heavy bleeding (soaking more than two pads per hour for two hours), severe abdominal pain that doesn't respond to pain medication, a fever over 100.4°F (38°C) lasting more than four hours, or a foul-smelling discharge. Talk to your doctor if you have any sudden changes in how you feel.
