Molecule Description

Misoprostol+Mifepristone is a medicine that should only be used under the supervision of a qualified doctor. It is prescribed for medical termination of pregnancy under specific conditions and within the time period advised by your healthcare provider. The kit contains two medicines, mifepristone and misoprostol, which work together to end a pregnancy when used as directed. Mifepristone works by blocking the action of progesterone, a natural hormone that helps maintain pregnancy. Without this hormone, the pregnancy cannot continue, and the lining of the uterus breaks down. Misoprostol, the second medicine, causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue through the vagina. Vaginal bleeding is expected after using this medicine, but if it becomes very heavy or lasts longer than advised, you should contact your doctor immediately. It is important to attend your follow-up visit to ensure the process is complete and your health is stable. This medicine should never be used without a doctor's prescription or guidance. Self-medication or incorrect use can lead to complications such as excessive bleeding, incomplete abortion, or infection. Always confirm your pregnancy duration and rule out any medical conditions before using Misoprostol+Mifepristone. Women with certain health issues, such as ectopic pregnancy or bleeding disorders, should not use this medicine. If you are breastfeeding, planning to become pregnant again, or have any concerns after using Misoprostol+Mifepristone, consult your doctor. Your healthcare provider will guide you on recovery, hygiene, and when it is safe to plan your next pregnancy. Taking rest, eating a healthy diet, and staying hydrated can help your body heal faster after the procedure.
