Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Meprate contain synthetic progesterone. It should not used for abortion. It is used to regularize the period, in PCOS, endometriosis, to delay the period.
Abortion should be done by gynecologist's prescribed MTP kit under supervision and guidance.But this medicine should be take after USG scan to confirm intrauterine and gestational age of pregnancy. Mifeprsitone should be followed by the misoprostol under the guidance of gynecologist.
200 mg mifepristone should be followed by 400 ug misoprostol vaginally/orally after 48 hour, another 400 ug dose after 4 hour if needed.
Follow up USG should be done after 14 days for checking successful abortion and other complication.Do not take at home as it causes serious complication that can not managed at home.
Hope this may help you

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Meprate contains medroxyprogesterone acetate. It is used to correct menstrual disturbances, postpone or advance a cycle and to induce a period. In order to get an abortion, you need to see a specialist, get the pregnancy clinically confirmed, get a trans-vaginal sonogram to locate the gestation sac and the age of the pregnancy. A medical abortion can be induced until 9 weeks of pregnancy. There are several medications available, but, you need to get them only under medical supervision. The whole process takes 2-3 days. Follow up is done two weeks later along with a sonogram to ensure completion of the abortion. Hope this helps.
