Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I can understand your concerns.
The abortion pills should only be taken under supervision.
As you had mifepristone and mesoprostol, you should take mesoprostol two tablets because for complete the abortion process you should complete the course.
You can take meftal spas for pain.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Good luck.
