MTP KIT - 200mg/0.2mg

MTP Kit: Mifepristone and Misoprostol Kit

What is the MTP Kit?

The MTP Kit (Medical Termination of Pregnancy Kit) is a reliable method for medically terminating an intrauterine pregnancy up to 10 weeks (70 days). It includes two medications: Mifepristone and Misoprostol, which work together to end the pregnancy safely and effectively.

Components

• Mifepristone (200 mg)
• Taken as a single oral tablet.
• Blocks progesterone, causing the uterine lining to break down and detaching the embryo.
• Misoprostol (200 mcg)
• Includes four tablets, which can be taken either orally or vaginally.
• Induces uterine contractions and softens the cervix to help expel the pregnancy.

How It Works

• Day 1: Take one Mifepristone tablet (200 mg) with water. This stops the pregnancy from progressing.
• 24-48 Hours Later: Take four Misoprostol tablets (800 mcg) as follows:
  • Misoprostol Orally: Place two Misoprostol tablets in each cheek pocket, let them dissolve for 30 minutes, then swallow any remnants.
  • Misoprostol Vaginally: Insert the Misoprostol tablets into the vagina and lie down for 30 minutes to ensure they dissolve properly.

Side Effects

Mifepristone side effects or Misoprostol side effects, associated with the abortion pill, may include

• Vaginal bleeding and cramping
• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Tiredness
• Fever and chills
• Fatigue due to dehydration and mineral imbalance

Abortion pill side effects can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Rarely, you might experience prolonged bleeding and severe abdominal pain. If this happens, seek medical advice and ensure you have support during this time.

Post-Abortion Care: Self-Care and Healing

Immediate Care

• Rest: Rest for the first few hours after taking the medications to aid recovery.
• Hydration: Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated, especially if you experience vomiting or diarrhea.
• Pain Management: Use over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen for cramps and pain, but avoid aspirin as it can increase bleeding.
• Sanitary Products: Use sanitary pads instead of tampons to monitor bleeding and reduce infection risk.

Emotional Support

• Companion: Have someone with you for emotional and physical support during and after the process.
• Counseling: Consider talking to a counselor or support group to help process your emotions.

Follow-Up

• Medical Check-Up: Schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider within 1-2 weeks to ensure the abortion is complete and check for complications.
• Symptoms to Monitor: Watch for heavy bleeding (soaking more than two pads per hour for two consecutive hours), severe abdominal pain, fever, or foul-smelling discharge. Reach out to your healthcare provider if you experience any of these symptoms.

Avoiding Complications

• Infection Prevention: Avoid sexual intercourse, inserting anything into the vagina (like tampons), and swimming in pools or hot tubs for at least two weeks.
• Medication Adherence: Take all prescribed medications as directed, including antibiotics if given.

Long-Term Care

• Birth Control: Discuss birth control options with your healthcare provider to prevent future unintended pregnancies.
• Health Check: Keep regular health check-ups to monitor your overall reproductive health.

General Well-Being

• Nutrition: Eat a balanced diet rich in iron and protein to replenish blood loss and support recovery.
• Exercise: Gradually return to normal activities and exercise as you feel comfortable.

Taking care of your physical and emotional health after an abortion with Mifepristone and Misoprostol is crucial. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and seek support if needed.
