Question
Hello Danielle,
I'm a people from Asian, and I need your advice. I was pregnant about 2 month's ago. And I want to end my pregnancy because of something. An hour ago I got some information about CYCOTEX, do you think this is a good option about abortion? And is it safe to abrortion my pregnancy alone? One more, if the cycotex is a good option, Do you suggest me about the exact doses for a safe usage??

Thank you Danielle..

Answer
Hi Andi :)

So are you around 8 weeks pregnant right now?

It is a very good option, it's used quite commonly to terminate pregnancies. What you need to be sure of is that you'd be able to call for help/access a hospital in case of (rare) dangerous side effects. So if you get a fever, or are bleeding very, very heavily, you'll need medical attention ASAP. If you're able to get to a hospital/call an ambulance, you'll be fine, if not, then those rare side effects pose a very dangerous risk.

Depending on how far along you are, the dosage varies. Also-you have the option of taking them orally or inserting it vaginally. Your best bet will be to insert them vaginally (stick them up as far as possible), but orally is ok too.

Do you know the gestational age of the pregnancy? The dosage will most likely be 800mg (I believe the tablets come as 200 mg, so you'd be taking 4 for ONE dosage) inserted every 12 hours three times.
