Thanks for seeking our advice.
I can understand your concern, however the Contrapills should always be taken under the supervision of a gynecologist.



There is a risk of severe vaginal bleeding, infection and incomplete abortion.
First of all a pelvic ultrasound should be done to determine the exact size and site of pregnancy and repeated after 2 weeks of taking abortion pills.

Contrapill 200 only contain mifepristone in it, then you have to take contrapill - kit which contains mifepristone and mesoprostol under supervision of a gynecologist and it can be effective in terminating the pregnancy up to 7 weeks.

Avoid using these pills repeatedly, because they may cause hormonal imbalances resulting in menstrual irregularities. Instead use contraceptive methods to prevent unwanted pregnancy.

Hope this information could be helpful to you.

A feedback is appreciated.
