Brief Answer:
Yes she can take misoprostol today

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

She should not have taken mifespristone wothout confirming pregnancy.

If she is not pregnant then it will not work.

Yes she can take misoprostol between 24-48 hours after mifepristone.

She can take it either orally or vaginally. It works the same.

No other medicines needed.

Feel free to consult me directly
