How To Terminate Unwanted Pregnancy?
Question: i want to consult a doctor regarding use of unwanted ki. the problem is the pregnant woman is not my wife. iwant this to be discrete. any suggestions???
Brief Answer:
Not used if pregnancy >7 weeks.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Normally Ru486(mifepristone) is given in combination with misoprostol for medical termination of pregnancy. These are the components of unwanted kit.
-after taking first pill containing mifepristone, the next two tablets containing misoprostol should be taken after 24 hours generally.
-by this bleeding will start usually in 12 hours after the course and pregnancy will terminate within 24 hours.
This drug is to be taken under Medical Supervision as it can cause serious effects as nausea,vomiting,fever,pain and sometimes incomplete abortion can also occur causing the remnants to remain.
Mifepristone is recommended drug of choice for abortion under 7 weeks so please check with the local doctor and obtain prescription.
Also after taking these drugs a thorough evaluation and USG scan is recommended to check for complete evacuation of products.
Women also experience heavy bleeding after the drug and if uncontrolled it can lead to dizziness and fatigue. Please consider visiting a Gynaecologist for evaluation and then take it under her supervision.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
