Brief Answer:
MTP kit under doctor's supervision.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.

I can understand your concerns.

If you want to abort, MTP kit can help.

It consists of (Misoprostol + Mifepristone).

The dosage is mifepristone 200 mg orally followed 1-3 days later by misoprostol 800 mcg (4 tablets of 200 mcg each) vaginally.

After taking these pills, there is vaginal bleeding within 4 hours indicating the abortion.
The bleeding can be heavy for initial 24-48 hours and light bleeding may continue till 2-3 weeks.

After two weeks, an ultrasound is done to confirm that abortion has occurred.

The important side effects which must be taken care of are:
Heavy bleeding persisting for more then 48 hours,
Severe abdominal cramps.

Other side effects are gastritis, nausea and vomiting.

But, most importantly, these are prescription medicines and strictly to be taken under gynecologist supervision.
Kindly talk to your doctor about this.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to ask further.

Kindly close the discussion if you are satisfied with the response and give your valuable feedback.

Take care.
Thanks.
