OBGYN,  's  Response
Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
I hope you have visited a obgyn before taking the medicine. The proper protocol is that you need to wait for 48 hours before taking Misoprostol.
I would recommend that you discuss with your doctor regarding an ultrasound to check whether it's a intrauterine pregnancy and the gestational age. If still pregnancy is continuing the you can go for surgical evacuation than repeated doses of the drug.
Thanks
