Hello,
Thank you for posting a question.

In cipla abortion kit, there is mifepristone and misoprostol. Of these the mifepristone is the main abortive drug. Misoprostol just enhance the uterine contraction and help in the abortion.

So, firstly you have to take the mifepristone. After one to two days, you have to take the misoprostol drugs intravaginally. You can have 2 misoprostol tablet intravaginally and repeat it after 4 hours.

As you have already taken 2 misoprostol tablet, you have to take 2 tablets intravaginally again after 4 hours.

Hope this information suffices. Let me know, if you have any more question.

Regards.

Hello,
Thank you for writing back.

If you are experiencing bleeding that means the process of expulsion has been started.

So, right now, you do not need to take the another two drugs.

For your information, be cautious of excessive bleeding. It is one of the most common side effects of this kit. If you experience unbearable bleeding, or heavy bleeding for more than 7 days, you must consult a gynecologist immediately. Because in those conditions, manual evacuation is indicated.

Hello,

Thank you for writing back.

As I have told previously, you do not need to take the drugs,not even after 1 day.

Look, these misoprostol drugs are required to initiate the bleeding. As you have already started bleeding which is more than your regular period, then you have no reason to take these 2 drugs. It is given in the kit for individuals who do not experience bleeding even after taking 2 tablets. In some cases, patient needs more than 6 tablets to initiate bleeding.

So, DO NOT TAKE THE 2 MISOPROSTOL DRUGS.

After stopping the bleeding, do an ultrasound scan of whole abdomen. It will definitely give information about completion of the abortion. It is the gold standard investigation in this condition.
