Mtpill

MTPill is indicated for the medical termination of intrauterine pregnancy through 49 days pregnancy. For purposes of this treatment, pregnancy is dated from the first day of the last menstrual period in a presumed 28 days cycle with ovulation occurring at mid-cycle.

The duration of pregnancy may be determined from menstrual history and by clinical examination. Ultrasonographic scan should be used if the duration of pregnancy is uncertain, or if ectopic pregnancy is suspected.
Any intrauterine device [a IUDa ] should be removed before treatment with MTPill begins. Patients taking MTPill must take 400 mcg of misoprostol two days after taking mifepristone unless a complete abortion has already been confirmed before that time (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
Pregnancy termination by surgery is recommended in cases when MTPill and misoprostol fail to cause termination of intrauterine pregnancy.
