Detailed Answer:
Hello...
Thanks for trusting the healthcare magic doctors for your health related queries.
The information shared by you about your friend like bleeding and passage of clots after taking medications ( mifepristone+ misoprostol) indicates that abortion has started but till the abortion is complete bleeding continues.

Your friend seems to be in a phase of incomplete abortion. In this kind of scenario, an ultrasound of pelvis is done to know the extent of incomplete abortion. Based on the findings either medicines will be given or minor surgery might be done.

Advice-
1. Visit nearby gynecologist as soon as possible for work up to be done.
2. You can take tablets if there is continues vomiting.

Feel free to ask for further queries.

good luck
