Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic. I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

Since you already have the kit, I am writing as to how it is used.

At the outset I want to stress that before taking the medicine it is extremely important to confirm that pregnancy is inside the uterus and you do not have contraindications like anaemia, Addison's disease etc. If the pregnancy is outside the uterus (ectopic pregnancy), taking this medicine an cause life threatening bleeding.
These tablets are indicated for pregnancies less than 9 weeks.

First take Mifepristone tablet. 24-48 hours later place the 4 tablets of misoprostol vaginally. Usually abortion process starts 6-8 hours after taking Misoprostol.
Make sure to have an ultrasound after two weeks to confirm that the abortion process is complete.

Please first confirm the location and age of pregnancy.

Best wishes,
Dr Rama
