Posted on Fri, 8 May 2015

Question: hi i have taken a dose of mifigest after taking two tablets the bleeding has started. should i need to take remaing two

Brief Answer:
Yes you need to take.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I can understand your concerns.

Yes you need to take the other two tablets and complete the dose.

This is because if you only take mifigest pain and bleeding will start but your abortion will not be complete.

All the tablets are required so that it gives enough effectiveness to expel all fetal parts completely.

Incomplete dose will lead to incomplete abortion.

But it is not compulsory.
