Wait and watch for bleeding.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.

I can understand your concern here.

Usually bleeding and pain start 4-5 hrs. After taking cytolog tablet, but sometimes it may require time.

Bleeding occurs because the product of conception starts expelling because of the mesoprostol( cytolog).

So please do not worry about it.

Wait and watch for bleeding if bleeding will not occur, then go for repeat dose of cytolog after consulting your physician.

Hope I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to assist you.

Good luck.
Regards
Dr.Richa
