Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. WHO recommends mifepristone-misoprostol combination regimen for medical abortion during first trimester abortions (less than 12 weeks). What the doctor has advised to take mifepristone 200 mg orally followed after 48 hours by 4 doses of misoprostol 200 mcg through vaginal route is correct. Mifepristone works by blocking a progesterone, which is necessary for pregnancy to continue. Misoprostol causes contractions of the uterus and helps to expel products of conception. Bleeding usually starts within four hours after taking the pills. Bleeding might continue lightly one to three weeks after the abortion. Normal menstrual flow should return by four to six weeks. Abortion by use of pills should be done under medical supervision. Seek medical attention immediately in case you experience some untoward symptoms. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
