General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello,
i can understand your concern.
i assume that your wife is pregnant since the tablets prescribed by your doctor are meant for termination of pregnancy during first trimester.
the drugs prescribed by your doctor are as per the standard procedure followed.
since your wife is not able to expel the fetus from this method ,she would have to undergo a minor procedure called D & C (dilatation and curettage) done under anesthesia.
i would suggest an immediate appointment with an obstetrician and the procedure can be planned.
its always better to abort the fetus as early as possible as there would be fewer complications.
hope you are satisfied with the response.
do get back to us for further queries.
thanks for choosing HCM
