Is Mifepristone Advisable For Abortion?
Question: sir plz help me today i take mifprestone tablets now what i have to do for medical abortion
Brief Answer:
Precautions advised
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 as you already have prescription and procured the kit then it has a specific pattern of intake
Kit consists of one large tablet of mifepristone to be taken at once and then after 48 hours of that take the rest of the tablets In kit which 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.

Brief Answer:
Tranexemic acid advised
Detailed Answer:
You are most welcome.
I understand your anxiety.
Mist likely there will not be any such situation but in case you get heavy flow then take tablet tranexemic acid three times a day till flow decreases.
But in case flow is not controlled even then, you must visit a gynecologist before things go out of hands.
All the best
