Hello,

Misoprostol can cause diarrhea and abdominal pain more than 10%, headache and nausea vomiting only 1%-10%. Contraindication to those who want to keep pregnancy. But when you want termination of your pregnancy Mifepristone results in some softening and dilation of the cervix. When you use alone for early termination of pregnancy, >25 percent of patients experience abortion failure. It is your own decision to keep the baby and you should follow up with your doctor for your pregnancy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
