General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

* Gestapro is a combination kit therapy consisting of Mifepristone (to be taken first) and Misoprostol (to be taken around 36-48 hours after the Mifepristone).

* Usually the first dose can provoke nausea and light bleeding, but severe bleeding is predicted only after around 4 hours of the second dose.

As there is severe bleeding and weakness (suggestive of heavy blood loss ) after the first dose, she should not be compelled to use the second dose and must be presented to her OBGY for immediate consultation for further guidelines.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
