What is Termipil Kit?

Termipil Kit is a medical abortion kit used to terminate an early pregnancy (up to 9 weeks or 63 days). It contains two essential medications: Mifepristone and Misoprostol, which work together to induce a safe abortion by stopping pregnancy growth and expelling the pregnancy tissue from the uterus.

Composition of the Termipil Kit

The kit typically contains:

1. Mifepristone (200 mg) – 1 Tablet
   • Blocks progesterone, a hormone necessary to maintain pregnancy.
   • Causes the uterine lining to break down, detaching the embryo.
2. Misoprostol (200 mcg each) – 4 Tablets
   • Taken 24 to 48 hours after Mifepristone.
   • Induces uterine contractions, leading to expulsion of pregnancy tissue.
   • Can be taken orally (under the tongue or inside the cheek) or vaginally, as advised by a doctor.

How Does Termipil Kit Work?

Step 1: Mifepristone (200 mg) – First Tablet

• Taken orally with water under medical supervision.
• Blocks progesterone, causing pregnancy to stop developing.
• Softens the cervix to prepare for expulsion.

Step 2: Misoprostol (200 mcg) – Four Tablets

• Taken 24 to 48 hours after Mifepristone.
• Triggers strong contractions of the uterus.
• Leads to bleeding and cramping as pregnancy tissue is expelled.

Effectiveness of Termipil Kit

• 95-98% effective when taken correctly.
• Bleeding usually starts within 4 to 6 hours after Misoprostol.
• A follow-up with a doctor after 1-2 weeks is recommended to confirm complete abortion.

✅ Common Symptoms:

• Heavy bleeding (similar to a heavy period).
• Strong cramping and abdominal pain.
• Blood clots & tissue passing (sign of the abortion process).

⚠️ Possible Side Effects:

• Nausea & vomiting

• Fever & chills (usually temporary)

Who Should NOT Use Termipil Kit?

• 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 using the Termipil Kit.
• Use sanitary pads (instead of tampons) to track bleeding.
• Avoid alcohol & smoking during the process.
• Seek immediate medical help if you experience:
  • Excessive bleeding (soaking more than 2 pads per hour).
  • Severe pain unrelieved by painkillers.
  • No bleeding within 24 hours after taking Misoprostol.
