The MTP Kit is a medically approved abortion kit designed specifically for women wishing to terminate an early pregnancy. This effective kit includes two key medications: Mifepristone and Misoprostol, and is recommended for use during the first trimester, specifically for women who are no more than 9 weeks pregnant or in their third month of pregnancy.
This kit typically comes in a combination pack containing one Mifepristone pill (200 mg) and four Misoprostol pills (200 mg each). Healthcare providers will guide you on the proper usage and intervals for taking these pregnancy termination pills.
Description
How the MTP Kit Works
The MTP Kit is a medical solution for early pregnancy termination, consisting of two essential medications: Mifepristone and Misoprostol.
- Mifepristone plays a crucial role by blocking the effects of progesterone, a hormone vital for maintaining pregnancy. This medication facilitates the separation of the placenta from the uterine lining.
- Misoprostol, on the other hand, helps soften the cervix and stimulate uterine contractions. As the uterine muscles contract and relax, this process assists in expelling pregnancy tissue from the body. During this stage, the expelled contents may consist of blood clots, and vaginal bleeding is a normal occurrence following the intake of these abortion pills.
The MTP Kit is particularly effective for individuals with regular menstrual cycles, as knowing the date of the last period is essential. The treatment must be administered within 10 weeks from the first day of the last menstrual cycle.
What to Expect
After taking the abortion pills, users will likely experience bleeding and cramping. These sensations may resemble a heavy menstrual period and, in some cases, may feel similar to a miscarriage.
The MTP Kit is suitable for terminating pregnancies that are no more than 9 weeks along. Healthcare providers will confirm the duration from the first day of the last menstrual period to ensure the timing is appropriate.
Dosage and Administration
The MTP Kit includes one tablet of Mifepristone and four tablets of Misoprostol. Here’s how to use them:
- Mifepristone: This tablet is taken orally with water.
- Misoprostol: Typically taken 24 to 48 hours after Mifepristone. There are two methods for administering Misoprostol:
- Sublingual: Place two tablets on one side of the mouth and the remaining two on the opposite side. After 25-30 minutes, swallow any leftover medication with water.
- Vaginal: Insert the four tablets into the vagina one at a time. If the pills fall out before bleeding begins, reinsert them.
Bleeding usually starts within the first 4 hours, so it’s advisable to have sanitary pads ready as the bleeding may be heavier than normal.
A follow-up appointment with a healthcare provider is essential two weeks after using the MTP Kit to ensure that the procedure was successful.
Important Safety Information
Missed Dosage: The abortion pills should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider, minimizing the chances of missing a dose.
