OBGYN,  's  Response
Dear Madam,

Cytotec is known to affect the baby and cause abnormalities in the baby if it fails to terminate the pregnancy. Hence WHO has recommended that if Cytotec fails to terminate the pregnancy, the pregnancy should be terminated since there is a risk of foetal abnormality.

Since these medicines have failed to terminate your pregnancy, you may have to get it terminated by surgical evacuation. Please report to your Ob-Gyn specialist for further action.

I hope you will take this advice seriously.
