Brief Answer:
?

Detailed Answer:
Was the pregnancy confirmed by a doctor ?
Was it dated, because pills work only within narrow time frame.
Sometimes there is a risk of ectopic pregnancy, was it confirmed that the pregnancy is inside the uterus.
That can be done only by a gynecologist.
The MTP pill is Mifepristone, followed by 2 - 4 tablets of Misoprostol.
What tablets have you taken, and how many more do you have to take as per prescription?

Brief Answer:
Need gynecologist supervision

Detailed Answer:

Please understand.

1 tablet of Mifepristone is given at once orally , followed 24 hours later by 2 tablets of Misoprostol vaginally / orally and then 2 more another 24 hours later.

After this, you would have bleeding with cramps and expulsion of a fleshy mass.
Heavy bleeding lasts for a few days might continue up to 2 weeks.
A follow up scan after 2 weeks is essential to check that the abortion succeeded and the uterine cavity is empty.
There are certain side effects of the abortion process that you should be aware of like severe uncontrolled bleeding

If you do not follow all steps of precaution, there might be rarely an undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy, fainting, infection etc.

Pros are that you would have an abortion safely in more than 95 % of cases, without risk of a surgery.
In 4 % of cases, the pills might fail, and you might require surgical abortion.

If you vomit any of the pills within 4 hours of consumption, repeat the dosage.

Please make sure you do everything under guidance of a gynecologist.

Cytotec contains Misoprost, she already took one misoprost pill and she started bleeding but not heavy so I suggest you visit a doctor to know that weather she needs to change medications or change dosage of medications.

Since you are giving me just one word answers, I am prompted to ask your repeatedly since self doing an abortion is dangerous and might be life threatening too.

Take care.
