Hello dear
understand your concern
Misoprostol should be taken under the guidance and observation of gynecologist. Ideally 800 ug misoprostol should be taken vaginally/orally maximum up to 3 dose at 6 hourly interval under the observation of gynecologist. Normally bleeding will start with in 1-2 hour after and last for 7 days. Wait for 3 days for bleeding and cramp. if does not occur suggest failure of medicine to abort the pregnancy. If no bleeding consult the gynecologist and you should abort the pregnancy by surgery like evacuation and D & C. Follow up USG should be done for confirmation of incomplete abortion. Do not take extra dose with out under observation of health care provider.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
