Dr. Megha Gupta
Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Hi PATIENT to 1mgdoctors. You can take an MTP kit. It will safely terminate the pregnancy upto 9 weeks. But I would advise you to take it under medical supervision as incorrect dosage or technique can result in severe bleeding and sometimes even incomplete abortion in which you would need hospitalisation and even surgery. Hope this has been helpful.
