Hi,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
You have taken the medical termination of pregnancy kit.
The second dose of misoprostol keeps the cervix in dilated state so that the products of conception the fetus and the membranes can come out of the uterus cavity. Of course, it will also help the clots to get out of the uterus.
If retained, they can get infected and can lead to catastrophe.
These drugs for that reason should be taken only under medical supervision.
I hope the advice would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
