Hello

Thanks for the query

It is normal to have heavy bleeding, back pain, pain abdomen and weakness after taking abortion pills.
I recommend these things
1. tab aceclofenac is a good tablet for pain
2. watch out for extreme pain abdomen, loss of blood and fever
3. please see your doctor once the bleeding stops to check for retained products of conception

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Normal bleeding would be heavy on the first day and starts reducing slowly and stops within a week.
Too much would be requirement to change more than 3-4 pads a day. If the bleeding continues to require more than 3-4 pads a day then please see a doctor immediately
