An unplanned pregnancy can be overwhelming, but safe options like MTPKit are available to help. This post explains what MTPKit is, how it works, and the safest timing for its use.
š©ŗ What Is MTPKit?
MTPKit is a medical abortion kit containing two medicines:
- Mifepristone (200 mg) ā blocks progesterone, a hormone necessary to maintain pregnancy.
- Misoprostol (800 mcg total) ā causes uterine contractions to expel pregnancy tissue.
This combination is widely recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for early pregnancy termination.
š When Can You Safely Use MTPKit?
Timing is critical for safe and effective abortion.
ā
Best used up to 9 weeks (63 days) from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP)
ā
Still effective up to 10 weeks (70 days) but may require medical supervision
ā Not recommended beyond 10 weeks without professional healthcare support
If unsure of your pregnancy duration, use a pregnancy gestation calculator or seek a clinical assessment.
ā ļø Why Timing Matters
Using MTPKit after the recommended period may cause:
- Incomplete abortion
- Heavy bleeding and strong cramps
- Need for further medical intervention
Early use means safer, more effective results.
