What Is The Significance Of Mifegest?
I m 31 yrs old having a one and a half yr old daughter. Missed my period this month and checked after 10 days of the scheduled date, confirming pregnancy. Consulted my gynaecologist the same day and she gave me the medicine mifegest stating two tablets to be taken today and 4 tablets to be taken after 48 hours. Kindly brief me up regarding what all exactly will happen during this so that i can be mentally prepared for it.

Hi, mifegest is given to soften the cervix and it is embryotoxic also. You can have bleeding after taking this or may not be. 4 tablets given to you is of misoprostol which will initiate the uterine contractions and you will have abortion after that. You can have heavy bleeding along with pain after 4 to 6 hours of taking it. Bleeding can persist for few days. You can take some pain killers for that. Hope I have answered your question.
