Introduction
CONTRA KIT is a medicine that combines Mifepristone and Misoprostol and is classified as an anti-progestational steroid and a synthetic prostaglandin. It is used to end a pregnancy medically no later than 63 days after the start day of your last menstrual cycle.
Inform your doctor if you have any of the following conditions before taking CONTRA KIT: anemia, malnutrition, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or issues with your kidneys, liver, or respiratory system.
CONTRA KIT is not recommended if your pregnancy has not been verified, your last period began more than 63 days ago, or if your doctor fears an ectopic pregnancy, you have genetic porphyria, or you suffer from chronic adrenal insufficiency.
The risk of birth problems like facial paralysis, head malformations, and limb malformations increases if the pregnancy is not terminated (continued) after using CONTRA KIT. Before using it, check with your physician.
Once you have used CONTRA KIT, you should cease breastfeeding since it may enter breast milk. Before using it, speak with your doctor. Without first seeing a doctor, CONTRA KIT should never be stopped abruptly, as this could result in an incomplete abortion. Avoid drinking grapefruit juice while using CONTRA KIT.
Uterine contractions, lower abdominal cramps, heavy bleeding, gastrointestinal cramping, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea are some common side effects of CONTRA KIT. See your doctor for advice if any of these side effects worsen.

How Contra Kit Works
CONTRA KIT consists of Mifepristone, which inhibits the function of the progesterone hormone, which is essential for women to carry on a pregnancy. Misoprostol causes the uterus to contract and dilate, resulting in the pregnancy being expelled. As a result, the combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol induces pregnancy termination.

Before you take it, consult your doctor.
