Is It Necessary To Take Second Dose Of Cytotec For Abortion?
hi Cytotec was perscribed by a doctor to me for abortion. on Friday night i inserted 3 tabs and within 5 hours i started bleeding heavily. i had severe pain and slight fever and upset tummy. He said i was to swallow 2 more tabs after 5 hours of insertion but i didnt do this as my bleeding was so heavy. Should i take those two tablets tonight or should i just leave them? and should i assume my abortion was successful?
Hi. Thanks for your query. Read and understood that you have already inserted 3 tabs of cytotec and bleeding and pain and slight fever started. Yes, you have to swallow 2 tablets after 5 hours of inserting the first 3. Anyways since you have not taken the oral dose, better to consult your Gynecologist as she would know everything related to your pregnancy, duration and may also examine you. Completion of the abortion can be confirmed by the sac expulsion and ultrasonography the next day to confirm the the cavity is empty.
