The MTP Kit, or complete abortion kit, contains two main components: Misoprostol and Mifepristone tablets. These pills work together to terminate a pregnancy effectively.
Mifepristone blocks the effects of progesterone, a hormone crucial for maintaining pregnancy. By inhibiting progesterone activity, Mifepristone causes the placenta to detach from the uterine wall, halting fetal development.
On the other hand, Misoprostol softens the cervix and triggers uterine contractions. These combined effects result in the shedding of the uterine lining and the expulsion of pregnancy tissue through the vagina.
Usually, the MTP Kit involves taking Mifepristone and Misoprostol in a specific order. In some instances, Misoprostol alone can induce abortion, though it may be less effective than the combined regimen.
Medical abortion: Medical abortion is a procedure that uses medicine to end a pregnancy. It does not require surgery or anesthesia.
The recommended dosage for terminating pregnancy consists of orally taking 200 mg of Mifepristone. This is followed by inserting 800 mcg of Misoprostol vaginally, usually 1 to 3 days later.
Women have the option to self-administer Misoprostol or seek assistance from a doctor.
If abortion doesn’t occur within 4 hours for women between 49 to 63 days of pregnancy, an additional 400 mcg of Misoprostol (2 tablets of 200 mcg) can be taken vaginally or orally, based on individual preference and bleeding patterns.
You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Therefore, the likelihood of missing a dose is minimal.
Signs of overdosage may include drowsiness, shaking, seizures, breathing difficulties, stomach pain, diarrhea, fever, rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, or a slow heart rate.
In the event of an overdose, we suggest you to seek advice from your doctor.
While using the complete abortion kit, be mindful of potential side effects that may arise.Â
If any of these side effects occur, it’s essential to seek medical attention immediately.
Do not take mifepristone and misoprostol tablets if:
Additionally, inform your doctor if you:
Your doctor will discuss whether the treatment suits you in these cases.
Make sure to inform your doctor about any other medications you are currently taking or have recently taken.Â
Some medicines containing these active substances can interfere with mifepristone and misoprostol:
To minimize the risk of diarrhea, it is advised to avoid antacids containing magnesium. If necessary, consider using antacids containing aluminum or calcium instead.Â
Avoid consuming alcohol while taking this medicine, as it can increase the likelihood of experiencing side effects.Â
Additionally, it is strongly recommended to avoid consuming grapefruit juice while undergoing treatment with mifepristone and misoprostol.
Store the MTP Kit at temperatures below 25°C. Keep the pills in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.Â
Ensure they are stored out of reach of children and pets. Always check the expiration date before using the MTP Kit.

The MTP Kit or the abortion pill does not usually affect your chances of getting pregnant in the future. It also doesn’t increase the risks of pregnancy complications if you wish to get pregnant in the future.
The MTP kit is intended for a pregnancy of not more than 10 weeks, counted from the first day of your last menstrual cycle.
Vaginal bleeding, cramps, and diarrhea are the most common side effects after completing the course. If you experience any unusual side effect of the drug that persists for long, contact your doctor.
