Brief Answer:
MTP kit is used for abortion

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
welcome to healthcare magic.I understand your concern.

In my opinion the medicines used for abortion are:-
Tab.mefepristone 600 mg to be taken and after one day gap Tab.misoprostol 400mcg is taken at the same time as mefepristone tablet.
Bleeding may start after misoprostol tablets mostly but rarely after mifepristone tablet.Even if bleeding start after taking mifepristone completion of course is required.
But before taking any medicine for abortion an ultrasound is to be done to know the status of pregnancy within the uterus or outside uterus ie.,ectopic pregnancy.
I suggest you to take medicine for abortion under gynaecologist supervision but not to take personally at home as there might be risk of heavy bleeding,incomplete abortion and other complications.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to ask any more queries.
Good luck....Dr.srilatha
