Brief Answer:
Change in medication recommended.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

The above tablets are taken to induce abortion and not for inducing periods.
After ruling out pregnancy by ultrasound scan, following medication is helpful.
I recommend you to take tab Primolut N 5mg three times daily for 5 days.
However, doing an ultrasound scan to rule out pregnancy is mandatory in you before proceeding with any further treatment.
Hope this helps.

Brief Answer:
Ultrasound is to be done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

These medications will not harm you since you have stopped taking it. Do not take mifepristone or misoprostol any more. These medicines can have some unwanted side-effects. For now take lots of pure drinking water to flush out extra medicine out of your body.

First I suggest you to get an ultrasound done and upload it. No primolut N till the Ultrasound. It will also help in detecting the cause of irregular cycles, missed periods and endometrial thickness. Once the usual causes have been ruled out with the ultrasound, then there will be no reason to worry as well. Some women just normally get irregular periods.

You can also attach it and send it to my name at

I can help you in a better way.
Hope this helps.
