A Kare Kit

It is strictly used under medical supervision for the prescribed clinical condition. A Kare tablet combikit contains two active medications: mifepristone and misoprostol. Mifepristone is an anti-hormone (anti-progestogen) that blocks the action of progesterone, a hormone that a woman needs to continue being pregnant.

Misoprostol is a medication that increases the contraction of the uterus which dilates the cervix. Nausea, uterine cramps, vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness, and in some cases uterine bleeding may occur. Most of these side effects of A Kare tablet combikit go away with time.
