Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Ideally misoprostol tablets(2)t have to be taken after 48 hours of mifepristone tablet.
The misoprostol tablets can be taken either vaginally or orally.
The tablets if taken orally have to be swallowed with water.
In case no bleeding occurs within 24 hours of taking misoprostol then another 2 tablets are to be taken next day .
Hope you found the answer helpful.
