Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Abortion pills should always be taken under supervision of a doctor or an expert.
Sometimes it may cause severe bleeding, infection and retained product of conception.
Before taking abortion pills she should go for ultrasonography pelvis to see the exact week and site of pregnancy.
There are two type of abortion pills one which cause detachment of product from uterine wall ( mifepristone )and other cause expulsion of product( Cytotec).
In her case dosing of drug is not proper and she took only Cytotec.
Now the only option for her is to wait and watch for expulsion of product.
If she fails to expel then you should consult a gynaecologist and get her ultrasonography test( pelvis )done.
Hope I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to help you.
Good luck.

Hi,
When mifepristone and methotrexate are not available then dose of mesoprostol as follow-
