What is Gestapro?

Gestapro is a medical abortion kit used for the termination of early pregnancy (up to 9 weeks or 63 days). It contains two key medications: Mifepristone and Misoprostol, which work together to safely induce abortion by blocking pregnancy hormones and triggering uterine contractions.

Composition of the Gestapro Kit

The kit typically includes:

Mifepristone (200 mg) – 1 Tablet

1. • The first tablet taken to block the hormone progesterone, which is necessary to maintain pregnancy.
2. Misoprostol (200 mcg each) – 4 Tablets
   • Taken later to induce contractions and expel the pregnancy from the uterus.

How Does Gestapro Work?

Step 1: Mifepristone (200 mg) – First Tablet

• Taken orally with water under medical supervision.
• Blocks progesterone, leading to breakdown of the uterine lining.
• Causes the embryo to detach from the uterus.

Step 2: Misoprostol (200 mcg) – Four Tablets

• Taken 24 to 48 hours after Mifepristone.
• Can be taken orally (under the tongue or inside the cheeks) or vaginally as directed by a doctor.
• Causes uterine contractions, leading to bleeding and expulsion of pregnancy tissue.

Effectiveness of Gestapro

• 95-98% effective in successfully terminating an early pregnancy.
• The process usually completes within 4 to 6 hours after taking Misoprostol, but bleeding can continue for a few days.
• A follow-up with a doctor after 1-2 weeks is necessary to confirm that the abortion is complete.

Expected Symptoms & Side Effects

✅ Common Symptoms:

• Heavy bleeding (similar to a heavy period).
• Cramping & lower abdominal pain.
• Passing blood clots & pregnancy tissue (a sign that the abortion is in progress).

⚠️ Possible Side Effects:

• Nausea & vomiting
• Diarrhea & dizziness
• Fever & chills (temporary and usually mild)

Who Should NOT Use Gestapro?

• If the pregnancy is ectopic (outside the uterus).
• If you have severe anemia or blood disorders.
• If you have chronic diseases (kidney, liver, or heart problems).
• If you are allergic to Mifepristone or Misoprostol.
• If you take long-term corticosteroids (for asthma or autoimmune diseases).

Precautions & Medical Advice

• Consult a doctor before taking Gestapro to ensure safety.
• Use sanitary pads (instead of tampons) to track bleeding.
• Avoid alcohol & smoking during the process.
• Seek medical help immediately if you experience:
  • Excessive bleeding (soaking more than 2 pads per hour).
  • Severe pain that does not improve with painkillers.
  • No bleeding within 24 hours after taking Misoprostol.

Conclusion

The Gestapro Kit is a safe and effective medical abortion option when used correctly under medical supervision. Following the proper dosage and consulting a healthcare provider ensures a safe and complication-free abortion process.
