Brief Answer:
Self medication is not advisable

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

Please do not take these without the supervision of a doctor as they have serious side effects.. First a scan need to be done to confirm that it is intrauterine pregnancy..

I would suggest to consult your doctor prior to intake of these tablets.. A gap of 48 hrs is given between mifepristone and misoprostol.. Also a gap need to given between intake of misoprostol tablet.. It should not be taken together..

The intake of the tablets can cause severe bleeding which require a medical supervision.. Also a scan need to be done at the end of 14th day to see that the uterine cavity is empty..

Hope I have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any doubts.. good day..
