MIFTY KIT 4 S

About

MIFTY KIT typically comprises a sequential regimen of two distinct medications, primarily mifepristone and misoprostol, specifically utilized for the medical termination of early intrauterine pregnancy. Mifepristone, the initial component, functions as an antiprogestin, effectively blocking the crucial effects of progesterone, a hormone indispensable for sustaining pregnancy. This blockade leads to the detachment of the gestational sac from the uterine wall and softening of the cervix. Subsequently, misoprostol, a synthetic prostaglandin analogue, is administered. Misoprostol induces powerful uterine contractions and further cervical dilation, facilitating the expulsion of the uterine contents. The carefully timed, sequential administration of these two pharmacological agents ensures a high efficacy rate for medical abortion in early pregnancy, offering a non-surgical and often preferred alternative for termination within specified gestational limits. This method provides a discreet option for patients under strict medical supervision.
