Brief Answer:
Consult a gynecologist first

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Firstly I would like to suggest you that it is not safe to take the MTP pill yourself without consulting a gynecologist.
At most places it is not an over the counter drug and is available only on prescription but if you already have prescription and procured the kit then it has a specific pattern of intake
Kit consists of one large tablet to be taken at once and then after 48 hours of that take the rest of the tablets which are basically cytotec tablets and are four in number.
After taking full kit, abortion occurs anytime between 6 hours to 5 days.
But in few patients there can be an incomplete abortion or excessive bleeding per vaginum and in that case you have to visit a gynecologist.
I hope I have answered your question but in case you have other questions I will be happy to help.

Abortion is illegal in South Korea. English language is another barrier, hence this means.

Brief Answer:
not possible to prescribe without examination

Detailed Answer:
If it is illegal in your country then you cannot avail the tablets as they are prescription drugs and it is not possible to advice any patient any drug without examination so you better visit your gynecologist for customized advice.

Brief Answer:
Can avail it on prescription

Detailed Answer:
Alright mam, now I can see the issue because earlier I was under impression that you stay in Korea and want termination which is illegal there.

In XXXXXXX you can get abortion pills on prescription easily in case you have genuine reason for termination like contraceptive failure in patients with complete family already.
Take the MTP kit from registered medical practitioner and consume it as advised.
It should be taken in morning and after meals.

Take care
