Hi,
Welcome to XXXXXXX

Amount of bleeding depends on the individual but usually bleeding may last upto 7 to 10 days.

Nausea and vomiting are on e of the common side effect of this drug. You should also call your doctor immediately if you have general symptoms of illness such as weakness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or feeling sick more than 24 hours after taking mifepristone.

If she is experiencing since 3 days i advice you to see the consulting doctor.

You should return for a follow-up visit at approximately 14 days after administration of mifepristone to confirm that the pregnancy is completely terminated and to assess the degree of bleeding. Vaginal bleeding is not evidence of the termination of pregnancy. Termination can be confirmed by clinical examination or ultrasonographic scan.

Hope I have provided the information you needed.
Wish you good health. Take care.
