Brief Answer:
Repeat dose should be taken

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
If there was vomiting within 2 hours of taking misoprostol, then it is not effective and the dose should be repeated.
You should repeat the dose of misoprostol to initiate and complete the abortion process.
If there is no bleeding even after 24 hours of taking the repeated dose, then surgical abortion may be required in view of the failure of the medical method.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
