Can I Use Mifeprestone And Misoprostol To Terminate Pregnancy?
Question: Hello,
am 20 years old. I have done sex with my partner last month(february) on 14th at night time. After committing like that, I slept for half an hour like that. After that till today, I didn't committed sex with him. But the problem is am not getting my periods now. Only one time doing sex will give any pregnancy to me? Its already delayed around 10days. Does it gives a sign of pregnancy to me or anything else? I'm still in a doubt, whether I got pregnancy or not. Yesterday, I tested myself using PREGTEST device, it gave 2 pink colors on the strip, but still a doubt. Shall I use "EP FORTE" or "MIFEPRISTOL" or any pill to get rid of pregnancy? I can't go to hospital because that may create a problem in my family. Please help me.
Brief Answer:
yes, one time sex can cause pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Yes, one time sex can cause pregnancy. Your pregnancy test has given 2 pink colours. That means you are pregnant.
You cannot take the abortion medicines all by yourself.
First, we need to confirm this pregnancy. I would suggest that you get an ultrasound scan of the uterus to confirm your pregnancy. If you are pregnant, then you can go for abortion.
Mifeprestone and misoprostol are the drugs used for medical termination of pregnancy.
I usually prescribe my patients tablet mifeprestone one tablet right away followed by another one after 12 hours. Misoprostol is to be inserted into the vagina every 6 hrs until you start bleeding.
I am sorry that you can't go to hospital. However, this cannot be done without a doctor's supervision.
Let me know if you have more queries.

If I go to doctor then how much cost will be taken for abortion? And also, can I take "ESTO PLO FORTE" to remove my pregnancy? Why Misoprostol is inserted only through VAGINA, but not through oral? Can you tell me a complete & correct solution to get rid of unwanted pregnancy on my own? Does MIFEPRESTONE & MISOPROSTOL gives any side effects or any problem ? Give me a best solution please mam....
Brief Answer:
detailed below
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The cost of the pills would be around 1000, and the doctor charges separate.
ESTO PLO FORTE does not remove pregnancy. I see that it is just a vitamin supplement. This definitely would not cause abortion.
Misoprostol can also be taken through mouth or orally. It's action is more effective when inserted vaginally. One can take it either ways.
I am sorry but I do not think you can abort on your own. You may want to purchase the MTP kit that is available at the pharmacy and take the medicines in it by yourself, and see if you can abort. However, this is a prescription drug again which requires a doctor's prescription.
Side effects of both drugs would be nausea, vomiting, headache, increased vaginal bleeding. However, these are short term and does not last longer.
Hope this helps you. Take care!
