Mifegest Kit:

Mifegest Kit belongs to a group of gynaecological medications called ‘Abortifacient’ used for the medical termination of the pregnancy 63 days after the first day of the last menses period.

What is Included in Mifegest Kit?

Mifegest Kit contains two medicines, namely: Mifepristone and Misoprostol.
