Hi,

The dosage, as suggested by your doctor for pregnancy under 10 weeks is one tablet of mifepristone on first day. However, the dosage of misoprostol is advised 2 tablet after 24 hours and other 2 tablets after 48 hours. However, some doctors advise Misoprostol in a single dose of 4 tablets after 48 hours.

There is no difference in effectiveness with one or the other regime of misoprostol. Hence, in my opinion, you may take the dosage as suggested by your doctor, as it is always advised to follow the prescription of your doctor.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
