Reset Kit is a combination of two medicines, which is used for medical abortion (terminating a pregnancy). This medicine blocks the action of progesterone, a female hormone required to maintain pregnancy and induce contractions in the uterus, which further helps in abortion.
Reset Kit should be taken with food or as per your doctor's advice. You must start with a dose of Mifepristone. It should be taken orally, by swallowing the tablets whole with a glass of water. If you experience vomiting within 30 minutes of tablet intake, inform your doctor or take another tablet. The medicine may take 24- 48 hours to show its action and you might experience spotting or bleeding. After a period of 36-48 hours, you have to take Misoprostol tablet, either orally or vaginally. You are suggested to have proper rest after this dose intake as it may cause severe stomach pain or vaginal bleeding thus leading to abortion.
The most common side effects of this medicine include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps. If these bother you or appear serious, let your doctor know. There may be ways of reducing or preventing them. Some side effects may mean you should inform your doctor immediately include heavy vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have ever had an ectopic pregnancy, or you are breastfeeding or using an intrauterine device. Your doctor should also know about all other medicines you are taking as many of these may make this medicine less effective or change the way it works. You must avoid strenuous activity like heavy exercise, running and driving while abortion as it can affect the bleeding. Your doctor may perform an ultrasound or pelvic examination to check for abortion completion.
Reset Kit is used to cause an abortion during the early part of a pregnancy. It is used up to week 10 of pregnancy (up to 70 days after the first day of your last menstrual period). This medicine effectively blocks the natural female hormone, called progesterone, that is needed for your pregnancy to continue. Please use it only as advised by the doctor.

How Reset Kit works
Reset Kit is a combination of two medicines: Mifepristone and Misoprostol, which causes abortion. Mifepristone blocks the effects of progesterone, a natural female hormone that is needed for the pregnancy to sustain. Without this hormone, the lining of the uterus (womb) breaks down as it does during a menstrual period and stops the growth of the pregnancy. Misoprostol increases contractions of the uterus to cause abortion.

Hi, have been at home since the last 5 months and have not been going to work. I was working in chennai but took a transfer back to Mumbai in may this year as my father was hospitalised and I had to take care of him. Post my fathers hospitalisation my mother underwent bypass surgery, post bypass my father again was hospitalised. This chain of events affected me badly. Slowly I got involved with taking care of my parents and stopped going to work. Met a doctor who referred me to a psychiatrist, he confirmed that I was undergoing mild depression. He prescribed Frext 50 for a month. Now yet problem is that my body clock has changed. I am unable to sleep at night and sleep in the morning till afternoon. This is causing a lot of problems including me abstaining from work. I feel very lethargic to do any work. And am enjoying this forced vacation. But the same is putting my family under a lot of stress financially as well as emotionally. I want to change my body clock and sleep at night. Think this change will bring about other changes as well Pls suggest.
