Early abortion is the most humane way to stop a pregnancy. Many women turn to specialists to carry out this procedure. Special medicines, one of which is Mirolyut, contribute to miscarriage.
Indications for use
According to the instructions, "Mirolyut" must be used within forty-two days to terminate the pregnancy. With a longer shelf life, these tablets are no longer suitable for use.
The composition and form of production
Also, the instruction to "Mirolyut" reports that this drug is produced in the form of tablets. One pill contains 0.2 milligrams of misoprostol, which is the active component of this drug. Excipients are presented in the form of magnesium stearate and sodium carboxymethyl starch.
Healing properties
As indicated by the instructions for use, MIROLUT stimulates the smooth muscle of the myometrium and causes uterine contractions. Also, this medicine helps to expand the neck, while facilitating the withdrawal of contents from the uterine region. This drug does not have any effect on hormones such as prolactin, gonadotropin, cortisol and thyroid-stimulating hormone. Also, the presented agent does not affect the processes of platelet aggregation, lung function and the activity of blood vessels and the heart.
The medicine is administered orally or vaginally. This drug has the property of rapid absorption. When taken with food, tablets become not biologically available enough. Against the background of eating fatty foods, the absorption of the drug is significantly reduced, but its duration remains the same. In accordance with the instructions, MIROLUT tablets act in such a way that in the digestive system the tablets decompose to an active metabolite, namely to misoprostolic acid. The half-life is usually less than half an hour. This drug does not accumulate in the body. In the case of increasing the dosage of the drug to 400 micrograms (despite the fact that the average dosage is 200), the content of misoprostolic acid in the blood plasma doubles.
Very often, women ask themselves which method is more effective and safe. The answer in this case is only one: such a technique does not exist. Therefore, before making such a crucial decision, it is necessary to carefully weigh everything, and, of course, consult a doctor.
Medical abortion as a gentle method of abortion
Termination of pregnancy is almost always accompanied by serious risks of various complications. The process of curettage of the uterus threatens the development of inflammation, hormonal shift and adhesions. All these pathological changes may eventually result in absolute infertility.
Currently, a medical abortion, in which there is no surgical intervention, and any medical manipulation is performed exclusively through drugs, can serve as the method of choice. Their exposure is short-term, such drugs do not affect female fertility. The drug technique is used from three to eight weeks of pregnancy. In some cases, up to twenty-two weeks.
Abortion
As part of a medical abortion, Mifepristone and Mirolyut tablets are usually taken orally. This method is now most applicable, given the simplicity of the procedure. True, such an abortion is possible only for a period of not more than seven weeks after the first day of the last menstruation.
The best option for a woman is to have such an abortion under the supervision of a doctor in a medical center. True, abortion is allowed at home. But at the same time, the control of the attending physician is necessary for the patient at least twice. Next, we consider the instructions for the use of Mirolyut in more detail.
Instruction manual
So, as already noted, the use of these tablets should be carried out under the supervision of a doctor in an inpatient setting. It’s not worth the risk and carry out the procedure at home, since in some situations it is possible that a person will need emergency care, which can only be provided by a doctor.
It is worth emphasizing that the drug “Mirolyut” is not taken separately. Medical abortion, as a rule, begins with the use of pills of the drug "Mifepristone" in the amount of three pieces with a time interval of two hours each. "Mirolyut" is drunk only after forty-eight hours, after the first medical treatment. After a certain time, it begins to affect uterine contractility.
Further, after Mirolyut women experience heavy bleeding, which usually lasts no more than seven days. Tablets of this medication are placed under the tongue and absorbed. You can not swallow them. In the event that there is no discharge after the drug, then abortion continues to be performed by other methods and a histological analysis of the fetus is performed.
This is confirmed by the instructions for use for "Mirolyut" for abortion.
How long does it take for a medication to work?
The drug begins to act on the uterus half an hour after administration. Uterine contractions will continue for three to six hours.
Appointment of "Mirolyut" with a lohiometer
In certain situations, doctors recommend drinking “Mirolyut” with a lohiometer. This complication occurs in women, usually after childbirth and is usually accompanied by serious infection.
In such cases, along with instrumental techniques, this drug gives positive results. After taking Mirolyut, all the placenta remains out of the uterus. As part of the pathogenetic treatment, the general condition of the patient is significantly improved and the temperature normalizes.
What else does the instruction to Mirolyut tell us?
Contraindications
The general condition of the woman, along with her age, gestational age and the presence of concomitant diseases, plays a large role in the prescription of this drug. In this regard, the following series of contraindications for the use of Mirolyut are distinguished:
- The presence of a woman is highly sensitive to the drug.
- Diseases of the liver and kidneys, as well as blood vessels and the heart.
- The patient has asthma, glaucoma or persistent increase in pressure.
- The presence of a sick endocrine system along with diabetes.
- The presence of a tumor with hormone-dependent components.

Interaction with other medicines
In medical practice, a combination of Miropriston and Mirolyut is very common. It is worth knowing that the preparations "Miropriston" and "Mifepristone" are the names of the same medicine. One tablet of Miropriston contains 0.2 grams of mifepristone.
The level of Mirolyut in the blood serum decreases markedly with prolonged use of anti-TB drugs in the form of Rifampicin and Isoniazid. The same effect is observed with prolonged use of anticonvulsant drugs, acetylsalicylic acid, antidepressants and barbiturates.
The metabolism of the substance misoprostol (the active substance of Mirolyut), as a rule, is stimulated if more than ten cigarettes are smoked per day, while the level of the drug in the blood decreases.
Side effects
As a rule, far from all medical manipulations associated with medical abortion go smoothly. For someone, it causes only pain, reminiscent of cramping during menstruation. And in other women, such actions end with the development of all kinds of complications. According to the instructions and reviews, MIROLUT can provoke the following adverse reactions:
- Incomplete abortion can be achieved , against which fragments of embryo tissue remain in the uterus, which is accompanied by severe bleeding.
- The delay in the release of the fetus during an abortion is considered the absence of a miscarriage during the day. In case of failure of repeated manipulations, doctors resort to the use of instrumental methods.
- With the development of infection, antibiotic therapy is required.
- After the abortion procedure, prolonged bleeding and irregular periods are possible.
- The development of severe pain.
- The occurrence of damage to the cervix and its ruptures. In rare cases, suturing is required.
- The appearance of uterine ruptures. This phenomenon is very rare and mainly when doctors are forced to resort to surgery.

- The appearance of drowsiness and tremors of the upper and lower extremities.
- The occurrence of cramps and pain in the abdomen.
- An increase in temperature along with an increase in heart rate.

Analogues of the drug
“Mirolyut” has a number of different analogues that are used in the presence of certain contraindications to its use. You can replace “Mirolyut” with the help of such means as “Mifepriston”, “Misoprostol”, “Pencrofton”, “Mifolian” and “Cytotec”.
Mifepristone and Mirolyut
Instructions for use indicate that Mifepristone is prescribed for abortion before the ninth week of pregnancy. This medication is used in conjunction with synthetic prostaglandins. During abortions, which require surgical intervention, this analogue is prescribed for artificial expansion of the cervix in order to slightly facilitate fetal extraction.
In the event that pregnancy is required to be interrupted from the thirteenth to twenty-fourth week, then Mirolyut is also allowed to be used to potentiate the action of prostaglandins. In the last trimester, Mifepristone is used to induce labor activity against the background of the death of an undeveloped fetus.
Misoprostol and Mirolyut
Instructions for use confirm that "Misopristol" is often prescribed to cause labor activity in the last trimester in the event of fetal death.
It is suitable for inducing labor at an early stage. The main component of this analogue is the substance misopristol. But on the basis of medical reviews, it is worth noting that this analogue is somewhat inferior to Mirolyut in its effectiveness.
Reviews about Mirolyut
In the reviews, women report that after using Mirolyut they did not notice any serious negative reactions. It is noted that this drug provokes profuse discharge with blood clots, but the pain appears tolerable.
But not all have a medical abortion that goes smoothly. Some report that after using these pills, adverse reactions in the form of nausea and a feeling of weakness are possible. Unpleasant effects such as pain in the head and stomach are also reported.
