Brief Answer:
Get proper prescription.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

Firstly, I would like to know if you are self-medicating yourself. In that instance, I would ask you to see a gynecologist immediately for a proper evaluation and suggestion.

Medical abortion is always done under proper medical supervision and a follow up visit and a repeat sonogram is a must to confirm completion of the process of abortion.

Yet, if you insist, the dosage of Misoprostol is 3-4 tablets vaginally or 2 tablets buccal, based on the age of the pregnancy according to a trans-vaginal sonogram taken prior to the process. This medication is taken between 24-72 hours after the oral dose of Mifepristone.

Hope your query has been answered. Please feel free to contact for further clarifications. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.

Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

The dosage of Misoprostol is 400 micro grams orally or 800 micro grams via the sublingual or vaginal route. This is the suggested WHO dosage for pregnancies less than 49 days.

Hope your doubt has been cleared. Please get back if you need any more information. I will be ready to help.
