Brief Answer:
Suggests minimal retained products in uterus.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and understand your health concerns Misoprostol can cause uterine cramps and bleeding even after 24 hours. You need to take the tablets for two days as prescribed. The passage of small clot means there are minimal retained products in the uterus. Only an ultrasound scan can confirm if all the products have been expelled or not. You can get a repeat ultrasound scan done after one week to be very sure.

Regards.
