Brief Answer:
Abortion process has started

Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
The pain in abdomen and back is due to the uterine contractions as the abortion process has started.
You can take Meftal spas tablet twice a day to relieve the pain.

Brief Answer:
Urine pregnancy test becomes negative after 2 weeks

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, Yes, the another 2 tablets can be taken between next 12-24 hours.
Urine pregnancy test will become negative at least 2 weeks after the abortion process is completed.
For checking the completion of abortion, you can get an ultrasound on day 15 after taking Mifepristone.
