Facing an unplanned pregnancy can be challenging, and having access to safe, effective options is essential. One option often available in Kenya is the CytoMisKit—a medical abortion kit used to safely terminate early pregnancy. This post will explain what CytoMisKit is, how it works, and the safest timeframe to use it.
🩺 What Is CytoMisKit?
CytoMisKit typically contains two medications used together:
- Mifepristone (200 mg) – blocks the hormone progesterone needed to maintain pregnancy.
- Misoprostol (800 mcg total) – induces uterine contractions to expel pregnancy tissue.
This combination is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for safe and effective early medical abortion.
🕒 When Can You Safely Use CytoMisKit?
Timing is critical for safety and effectiveness.
✅ Best used up to 9 weeks (63 days) from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP)
✅ Still effective up to 10 weeks (70 days), but may require medical supervision
⛔ Not recommended beyond 10 weeks without healthcare professional oversight
If you’re unsure about your pregnancy duration, consider using a pregnancy gestation calculator or visit a trusted clinic for an assessment.
⚠️ Why Timing Matters
Using CytoMisKit beyond the recommended period can lead to:
- Incomplete abortion (retained pregnancy tissue).
- Heavier bleeding and stronger cramps.
- Increased need for follow-up medical care or surgical procedures.
Using the kit early improves safety and effectiveness.
