- Is there no one pill to take on single day and you are safe for whole month , is it that you need to take the pills every day to protect from pregnancy.

Brief Answer:
Mesoprostol is more effective when taken vaginally.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Mesoprostol is more effective when given vaginally because with oral consumption most of the part disintregate through liver and drug become less effective.
You can use low dose birth control pills after abortion to avoid pregnancy after consulting your treating doctor.
You have to take pill every day for 21-28 days( depend upon pack).
There is no single dose pill which will prevent you from pregnancy.
You can see for other methods of contraception to prevent pregnancy.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Good luck.
