• The medication procedure ensures you do not need to undergo a surgical abortion, no anesthesia, and the ability to control and have freedom over your reproductive wellness.

How Does the MTP Kit Work?

Details about the mechanism of action are:

• Mifepristone is the pill you take to begin a medical abortion. It is a progesterone blocker that causes breakdown of the endometrial lining. The pregnancy tissues come off the uterine wall and are ready to be expelled using a second medicine, Misoprostol.
• The prostaglandin, Misoprostol, causes uterine contractions that let out the pregnancy portions via vaginal bleeding. The pills also dilate and ripen the cervix to ease the passing of the pregnancy products.

Dosage of MTP Kit

The dosage instructions are as follows:

• Orally swallow Mifepristone 200mg with water on day 1. Use Misoprostol 200mcg x 4 pills after 24 to 48 hours in any of three ways – buccal, sublingual, or vaginal.
• Buccal intake involves inserting two Misoprostol pills each in both cheek pouches. The medicine melts over half an hour. Consume the melted remains thereafter.
• In sublingual intake, put all four pills under the tongue for 30 minutes and ingest the dissolved contents thereafter.
• In vaginal administration, lie down on your back and use clean fingers to gently insert one by one Misoprostol pills inside the vaginal tract toward the cervix. Stay rested for half an hour so that the medicine melts and gets absorbed through the canal.

How to Store MTP Kit?

Know the storage guidelines:

• Avoid exposing the medicine to direct sunlight, moisture, and excessive heat. Let the abortion pills remain in their original pack until you want to use them.
• Keep the medicine out of the reach of children and pets.
• Store at room temperature between 20°C and 25°C (68°F and 77°F).

MTP Kit Side Effects and Their Management

The MTP Kit procedure causes some expected consequences. We will further discuss how to manage these effects:

• Nausea and vomiting are common and can be prevented by taking an antiemetic medicine an hour before using Misoprostol. If you have a mild fever, an antipyretic medicine may help.
• Uterine contractions result in abdominal cramping and pain. An over-the-counter pain medicine can reduce the intensity of the pain. Application of a heating pad or hot water bag can also give comfort.
• Hormonal changes can lead to tiredness, dizziness, stomach upset, or headaches. You are advised to take rest and avoid alcohol intake, spicy food, and junk food. Stay hydrated and drink electrolyte fluid. Do not physically strain yourself.
