What is MA-KARE used for?
Mifepristone combined with misoprostol is an established medical method used in abortion care. The World Health Organization recognizes mifepristone plus misoprostol as a medical abortion regimen and provides evidence-based recommendations according to pregnancy duration and clinical circumstances.
The medicines work in different but complementary ways. Mifepristone blocks the action of progesterone, while misoprostol causes uterine contractions and helps the uterus expel pregnancy tissue.
Important information before using MA-KARE:
MA-KARE should not be treated as an ordinary over-the-counter medicine.
Before using mifepristone and misoprostol, it is important to establish the pregnancy status and duration and consider whether there are medical reasons why this treatment may not be appropriate.
Medical abortion care should also include access to accurate information, quality-assured medicines, appropriate follow-up and referral to a health facility when required.
