MTP kit tablets

What is MTP kit tablets?

MTP Kit is a medication used for medical termination of early pregnancy (up to 63 days or 9 weeks of gestation).
It contains two medicines:

• Mifepristone (200 mg tablet) – a progesterone receptor antagonist that stops the pregnancy from progressing.

• Misoprostol (200 mcg tablets) – a prostaglandin that causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue.

This combination is approved by health authorities as a safe, effective alternative to surgical abortion when prescribed and supervised by a qualified healthcare professional.
