Hallow dear,

You seem to have stuck up in a soup.

Cytotec is Misoprostol. It is used in combination with Mifepristone for termination of pregnancy. For the period of pregnancy for which you have taken cytotec, its requirement was only 400 micg.; i.e. 2 tablets of 200 micg only. You have taken over dose of Misoprostol, and that too inadvertantly.

The medicines for the termination of pregnancy have to be taken only by Obstetrician's advice and under supervision.

If by these medicines, the abortion does not happen, continuation of pregnancy is NOT advised as these medicines through different actions may lead to the harm to and abnormalities in the baby. Now that Cytotec has failed to effect the abortion, please report to your Obstetrician who is Registered MTP specialist and get the abortion completed. You may have to undergo surgical evacuation.

PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE THIS PREGNANCY.

I hope, you have got the message.
