Hallow Garnel,

What you taken under the name of concoction is probably mixture of various ingredients that help digestion. This mixture will not help you terminate the pregnancy. Otherwise it will not cause any harm to the baby.

For termination of pregnancy by medicines up to 9 weeks of gestation, Tab. Mifepristone followed after 24 - 48 hours by Tab. Misoprostol is the correct method. These medicines are not 'over the counter' medicines. They need to procured by Obstetrician's prescription and should be taken in precise dosage with Obstetrician's advice. It is advisable to have a follow up visit to the Obstetrician 7 days after the last dose is consumed.

These medicines have a very good success rate. However, if the fail, the decision of termination should not be reverted to continuation of pregnancy since these medicines cause developmental abnormalities in baby.

Please report to your Obstetrician for termination of pregnancy by scientific way.
