Abortab 200 mg Tablet 1's

Abortab 200 mg Tablet 1's belongs to the class of medication called 'progestin antagonist' used in combination with Misoprostol to induce a medical abortion. Abortab 200 mg Tablet 1's is primarily used to end an early pregnancy (lasting up to 70 days or less than this) or an unwanted pregnancy with medication help.

Abortab 200 mg Tablet 1's contains Mifepristone, which works by blocking the effect of progesterone (female hormone), which is needed to sustain a pregnancy. In the absence of progesterone, the lining of the uterus breaks down as it does every month during the menstrual cycle, and the growth of pregnancy is stopped. It takes approximately 24-48 hours for Abortab 200 mg Tablet 1's to show effect. Once it starts acting, you will experience uterine bleeding. But no uterine bleeding does not mean that the abortion is complete.

Having a medical abortion is a very emotional decision. You should be mentally prepared for all the risks a surgical absorption could lead to, like incomplete abortion, heavy and prolonged bleeding (which may last up to 30 days), fever, and digestive system discomfort. Also, if the medication does not work, it can lead to an unwanted ongoing pregnancy, leading to fetal defects. So, to avoid any complications, keep in regular touch with your doctor and do as advised.

Abortab 200 mg Tablet 1's should be taken in dose and duration as advised by the doctor, preferably with food. It would be best to take it at a fixed time every day.

But if your vaginal bleeding does not, please visit the doctor immediately, and it requires immediate medical attention.
