Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

Given the age of the pregnancy, I'd recommend 800mcg per vaginal every 3 to 12 hours for up to three doses. If this fails, then you may need to use an abortion clinic or a hospital for a prompt review. Most cases succeed without any further interventions.

I hope these guides and helps.
I wish you well.

Feel free to follow up with me if need be.

Brief Answer:
No!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

We don't recommend it orally for this purpose. While you may do so, the results would not be good. This is not a standard practice.

I wish you well.
