Hello
Thanks for your query.
For incomplete abortion, you have to complete the total medication course.
In most women bleeding starts 24 - 48 hours after taking misoprostol.
You might need to take 2 - 4 tablets or maybe another dose if the bleeding and passage of tissues does not happen.
Also, sometimes if the tissues are stuck inside, then the tablets might not work.
If you throw up or have diarrhoea, repeat the dosage.
Do not take painkillers if possible, as it might stop uterine contractions.
have a follow up visit after 15 days to ensure that the procedure is complete.
Take care.
