Does medical abortion cause any side effects?

Question

Hello doctor,

My sister wants to terminate her pregnancy. Her LMP was two months back. Her doctor has given her an Insta kit and asked her to take one tablet tomorrow morning, two tablets at 5 AM the day after, and another two tablets at 6 AM on the same day. Will taking tablets back to back cause any issues? Also, is D and C required after taking the tablets?

Kindly advise.

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Your sister has to take the medicines as advised. It is called medical abortion. There is a risk of incomplete abortion with medicines. In that case, surgical abortion called D and C (dilation and curettage) may be required.

I hope this helps.

I wish you good health.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

There is no need to worry about bleeding after the first dose. Does she have any history of menstrual irregularity? Did she take any contraceptive pills in the past? Kindly answer the questions so that I can guide you better.

Thank you.
