  1. Using combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol abortion pills

  2. Before you take the pills: • Make sure you do not suffer from heart/ liver/ kidney disease • If you have IUD in place, you must get it removed • If you are taking corticosteroids for long term, avoid medication abortion • Avoid the pills if you have bleeding problem or suffer from high blood pressure or adrenal failure • If you are breast feeding during the time of medical pregnancy termination, make sure to put off breast feeding after you have taken misoprostol pillsas it can cause the baby to have diarrhea. If you can, for the safer side, just don’t breastfeed during the entire course of procedure.

  3. General tips for a smoother procedure : • Drink plenty of water throughout the whole procedure • Eat only light food stuffs before you take the pills to avoid nausea • Most women do fine, while in rare case there may be a need for medical attention. So make sure you have access to emergency medical help in case you need it. • Misoprostol causes a lot of bleeding and cramps therefore make sure you have a comfortable place where you can take the pills.

  4. Medical Abortion Regimen The abortion pill procedure needs one abortion pill kit which has both the medications. Step 1 - Take 1 tablet of Mifepristone [ 200 mg] Most women don’t feel anything after taking this medication, while others bleed lightly and start cramping. Do not worry if you start to bleed after the first dosage. Make sure you take Misoprostol even if start bleeding heavily after taking Mifepristone. Step 2 – Take 4 tablets of Misoprostol [ 200 mcg each] buccally You can take the second medication 24-48 hours of taking Mifepristone

  5. How to use Misoprostol buccally? • Take a sip of water to make your mouth moist • Take the four Misoprostol pills and put them in your cheek pouches [ 2x2] • Let the pill sit for at least 30 minutes to dissolve naturally. After that swallow the residue of the pills. • The pills’ taste is chalky rather than bitter, so it is possibly to keep the tablets in mouth for half an hour. Note – Even though vaginal administration of Misoprostol is possible, buccal route is more recommended as with buccal there is no chance of leftover pills residue, as is the case with vaginal route.

  6. What happens next? Most women start to bleed and cramp within 1-2 hours of taking the second dosage of pills. These symptoms are good, as they show that the pills are working effectively. How much bleeding and cramping is normal? • Depending upon the time of your gestation and other factors, you may bleed likewise. • For some women cramping is strong , for some blood clots of the size of a lemon in the first few hours of taking Misoprostol, if you are bleeding heavily. • Many women start bleeding 4-5 hours. It is normal to feel nausea, diarrhea, weakness, fever, chills while you pass the pregnancy. • It is entirely normal to continue light bleeding for 3-4 weeks following the procedure.

  7. Be cautioned and seek medical care – • If you don’t bleed followed by severe pain in your shoulders [particularly the right one]. This may be a sign of ectopic pregnancy [when the pregnancy is situated outside the uterus]. While this is rare, it needs immediate medical attention. • If you soak throughout a large pad in an hour or less and then it is prolonged for more than two hours. • If you feel sick and have a high temperature for more than 24 hours after taking the second dosage from MTP Kit • If you are in extreme pain which cannot be subdued by painkillers

  8. Follow up care • You can have an ultrasound around 2 weeks following the procedure to make sure you have completed the procedure successfully. • You will continue to shed the remaining conception parts over weeks. Unless you show signs of complications, you had a successful pregnancy termination. • If test with a pregnancy test kit, make sure you wait for 4 weeks following the procedure. As the HCG hormone [ which is detected by the home pregnancy test] takes at least 3-4 weeks to disappear from the body even if the pregnancy terminated, you will have to wait for that time period.
