What Causes Abdominal Cramps After Taking Misoprostol?
Hi I took my second pills Misoprostol (4 of them) at 12:30pm let them dissolve in my mouth for 30 minutes and swallowed what was left about 20 minutes later I threw up 3 times I still have very severe cramping but no bleeding yet. Should I be concerned that i may have thrown them up and they may not work properly?
Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is my advice. The bleeding should start within 4 hours of first intake. Dont chew or ingest them but keep them sublingual so if you throw up they not expelled since you had them sublingual desolved for 30 minutes and are absorbed in blood.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
