Hallow Dear, WHO has recommended Two regimes of medicines for termination of pregnancy up to 9 weeks of gestation: 1. Tab. Mifepristone followed after 24-48 hours by Tab. Misoprostol 2. Misoprostol only regime where Tab. Misoprostol is taken every 3-12 hours up to 3 doses. Usually these medicines terminate the pregnancy within 24 hours after last tablet; however, delay up to a week is known. Follow up visit after 7 days to Obstetrician is advocated. The completeness of abortion can be ascertained by ultrasonography. However, these medicines are prescription medicines. They should be bought by an Obstetrician s prescription and taken by advise and under supervision. These medicines are known to cause developmental abnormalities in the baby. Hence, in case of failure of these medicines, the pregnancy should not be continued but terminated by surgical method like MVA aspiration or so. I hope this helps you. Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
