General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello sir, welcome here. Gestapro has two types of tablets.First you should take a dose of mifepristone tablets by mouth. This causes the placenta to separate from the endometrium. It also softens the cervix and increases uterine contractions to allow the uterine contents to pass.Then, out of remaining 4 same tablets, two tablets should be taken after 24 hours of the first tablet . This is followed by remaining two tablets after 4 hrs gap.These four tablets can be taken by mouth (dissolved between the gums and cheek)or insert them vaginally.Once the second day tablets taken after 24 hrs ther will be bleeding after 2-3 hours.
Once the bleeding stops please have follow-up appointment, to make sure the pregnancy has ended and no complications are present. If a medical abortion is not successful, a surgical abortion is then done to complete the process because misoprostol can cause fetal abnormalities.
