What Causes Persistent Vomiting After Taking Abortion Pills?

Question: I just swallowed 2×200 mg mifepristol tablets and I vomitted In 5 minutes after swallowing. Its been almost one hour I haven't bleed. What's the issue? Or is this safe? When will I bleed?
Brief Answer:
Repeat the dose
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Vomiting within 30 minutes of taking the tablets renders the drug misoprostol ineffective.
That is why there is no bleeding or pain.
I will suggest you to repeat the dose and this time insert the tablet vaginally, as it is more effective and do not cause vomiting.
Bleeding should start within 24 hours of taking the tablet.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
