Brief Answer:
DETAILED BELOW.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query.
I hope you have started the process of medical abortion under medical supervision.
There are various reasons why you should not be taking the medications by yourself.
A gynecologist has to confirm the pregnancy, and has to date it exactly before deciding that these pills will work.
Outside a certain time frame, they might fail.
ALso, the correct dosage is prescribed by the doctor also, with proper explanations.
To confirm that the abortion was complete, you also need follow up visit and ultrasound to know this.
Risks like severe bleeding, infection, incomplete abortion etc. exist if these steps were not followed.
Rarely, pregnancy might be in the tube ( ectopic pregnancy ) and then taking these medicines is life threatening.
If she has taken Mifepristone 200 mg, then generally two tablets of Misoprostol are given 24 hours later vaginally, followed by 2 more after another 24 hours, also vaginally.
Also, even if she starts bleeding after Mifepristone, even then the complete dosage has to be taken to ensure success.
Take care, and please feel free to discuss further.

Yes, you have understood correctly.
However this is the way I would prescribe the medication to a patient whom I have examined in my clinic and considered fit for medical abortion.
I would urge you to consult with your doctor before taking the drugs, and proceed only after evaluation by a gynecologist, as I described the reasons earlier.
Take care.
