Unwanted Kit : Uses, Dosage, Price & Side Effects

Unwanted Kit is a combination of medicines used for medical termination of early pregnancy (commonly within the first 7–9 weeks). It contains two types of tablets that work together, one (mifepristone) blocks the hormone progesterone needed to sustain pregnancy, and the other (misoprostol) helps the uterus contract and expel the pregnancy.

Uses:

• Medical abortion in early pregnancy (under medical supervision)
• Sometimes prescribed in cases where surgical abortion is not preferred or suitable

Dosage:

• First, a single tablet of mifepristone is taken orally.
• After 24–48 hours, misoprostol tablets are taken as directed by a doctor (usually placed under the tongue, in the cheek, or vaginally).
• The exact dosage and timing must always be followed as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
• A follow-up visit is important to confirm that the process is complete.

Price:

• The cost of an Unwanted Kit typically ranges between ₹300 to ₹800, depending on the pharmacy, brand availability, and location.

Side Effects:

• Cramping or abdominal pain
• Vaginal bleeding (often heavier than a normal period)

Important precautions:

• It should only be used under medical supervision.
