Hi,
I appreciate your concerns.

But it is dangerous to have self medication.

So first you should consult your family physician /Gynecologist. Before the treatment it is important to have examination by her to make sure that the pregnancy is in the uterus and you do not have contraindications for the medications.
The Cipla MTP kit ( medical abortion) has two types of medicines ( anti progesterone and prostaglandin) used for abortion. Medical abortion is about 95% effective. Most women ( 80%) abort within 24 hours of taking the second pill. Some take little longer. The pills may cause vomiting and diarrhea. If you have these symptoms consult your doctor for medicines to treat it. Once the abortion process begins you may have severe abdominal cramps too.

After aborting the pregnancy you may have light bleeding for two weeks. Get an ultrasound done after two weeks to make sure that the abortion process is complete.
If you have heavy bleeding (soaks 2pads/hour for more than two hours) or if the bleeding persists even after 2 weeks you must see the doctor.

To avoid such unnecessary stress I advise you to consult your doctor and start regular contraception like hormonal contraception or have an intrauterine devise fitted as they are very effective in preventing pregnancy.
I also advise you to use in addition barrier method of contraception to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction.
If you have any further queries do contact me through healthcare magic.
