Here's how to safely use the Unwanted Kit (Mifepristone 200 mg + Misoprostol 200 mcg) to terminate an early pregnancy:
Understanding the Medication
- The Unwanted Kit contains two medicines: Mifepristone and Misoprostol.
- Mifepristone blocks the hormone progesterone, which is essential for pregnancy to continue. This stops the pregnancy from growing.
- Misoprostol causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue.
Dosage and Administration
- First, take Mifepristone 200 mg orally with meals.
- After 24 to 48 hours, take Misoprostol 200 mcg. Misoprostol can be taken orally, buccally (placed between the gum and cheek), or vaginally, depending on your healthcare provider’s instructions.
- Follow the exact timing and method advised by your doctor for best results.
Timing and Monitoring
- Strictly adhere to the timing between the two medications for effectiveness (usually 24-48 hours).
- Expect bleeding and cramping after taking Misoprostol; this is a sign the medication is working. Bleeding may be heavier than a normal period and can last for several days.
When to Seek Medical Help
- Contact a doctor immediately if you experience:
- Very heavy bleeding (soaking more than two pads per hour for two hours)
- Severe abdominal pain not relieved by painkillers
- Fever lasting more than 24 hours
- Signs of allergic reaction (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)
- A follow-up visit is important to confirm the abortion is complete and to check your health.
Precautions and Contraindications
- This medication should not be used if you have an ectopic pregnancy, certain bleeding disorders, or allergies to these medicines.
- Always consult a doctor before starting this treatment to ensure it is safe for you.
Support and Counseling
- Emotional support is important during this time; consider counseling if needed.
- Discuss contraception options with your doctor after the procedure to prevent unintended pregnancies.
Please consult a gynecologist or a specialist doctor for personalized guidance and safe management of the process. In case of emergency, contact Apollo Emergency at 1066.
