Brief Answer:
Not needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Bleeding with passage of clots and fleshy parts should occur for 5-7 days after taking misoprostol of MTP kit.
If the bleeding was there for 6 days, then most likely the abortion process is completed.
You can get a ultrasound done after a week to confirm that the uterine cavity is empty.
No more zitotec is needed if the bleeding was there for 5 days.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
