Question : My wife has missed her period and pregnancy test result in positive .. Can she use cap.mensovit plus to avoid pregnancy

Brief Answer:
Mensovit Plus is not used for abortion.

Detailed Answer:
Hi & Welcome.
I can understand your concern for your wife.

Mensovit Plus is a medication used to bring about period when there is delay. It is also used to regularize menstrual cycle. It does not terminate the pregnancy (abortion).
Terminating the pregnancy without consulting a gynecologist may result in complications like severe bleeding, abdominal cramps, infection or incomplete abortion.
If you wish to abort this pregnancy your wife must first consult a gynecologist to make sure that the pregnancy is in the uterus (not in the fallopian tube or 'ectopic' pregnancy) and the duration should be less than 8 weeks and she should not have contraindications for the medications.

Hope this answers your query.
