Mifegest Kit

Mifegest kit or MTP kit contains five pills in total. There are 4 tablets of misoprostol (200mg) and one pill of abortifacient (200mg). These pills can help terminate maternity up to nine weeks. They inhibit the activity of Lipo-Lutin which plays a role in the termination of maternity. Like some other abortion-inducing drugs, Mifegest kit exhibits anti-gluco corticoid with weak anti-androgenic activity. Similarly, misoprostol works by melting the cervix and causing your reproductive organs to contract. It also stops the secretion of viscose acid to aid the termination of maternity.

Abortion drugs usually contain the combination of misoprostol and mifepristone drugs. In Mifegest kit, you will find four misoprostol pills and one mifepristone pill. Take misoprostol vaginally and take mifepristone orally. You need to take a tablet of mifepristone first. Forty eight hours later, take 4 misoprostol. Bleeding and cramping may start within 20 minutes of taking your second medication, misoprostol tablet. The chances are you will miscarry within the next 6-8 hours. You may also experience cramping in waves with decreasing or increasing intensity. The bleeding you experience after taking Mifegest kit is usually heavier than a menstrual period.

Precautions Before Taking Mifegest Kit

Starting with a medical abortion without going for physical and pelvic examination by your doctor may lead to several complications. You should also go for some other examinations when you decide to go for medical termination of pregnancy. The test includes measurement of hemoglobin level, ultrasound scanning of pelvis and abdomen, and determination of your blood group. Screening is necessary to check for other conditions such as HIV, hepatitis B virus, and haemoglobinopathies.

Precautions After Taking Mifegest Kit

The combination of misoprostol and mifepristone is usually the most effective within two weeks. You need to see your doctor for a follow-up exam after two weeks to ensure that the process has been completed successfully. You may have to opt for an aspiration abortion if you don’t miscarry completely after using the kit. In rare cases, you may need a suction procedure.
