Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query.
Normally abortion pill contains one tablet of mifepristone and 4 tablets of misiprostol.
Normally you take one tablet of mifipristone followed by 4 tablets of MISOPROSTOL after 48 hours.
I don't know which tablets have been taken by your wife.
Normally you bleed after 3  to 4 hours after taking the last 4 tablets.
If you haven't bled then it could be a ectopic pregnancy or a failed abortion due to wrong intake of medicines.
If ectopic pregnancy is present,then you have to get it removed surgically.
If pregnancy is still present the you can take the proper course of abortion pill again as i have explained above.
You shall be able to abort the fetus.
There is no reason to get tensed up and white discharge has no significance at the moment.

I hope to have answered your query however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks

Hello
You can give MISOPROSTOL now.
It is very important to give this drug as this will result in contraction of uterus and expulsion of fetus.
It is available by the Name of MISOPROST ( CIPLA ) 200 mcg.
You should take 4 tablets of these at a time and is generally taken 1 to 3 days after taking mifipristone.
You will get bleeding after couple of hours.
Thanks

Dear sir,
Thank you very much for your valuable suggestion, my wife started bleeding and abortion took place. It helped us a lot to relieve our tension. we would surely look forward to come to you sir for any other complications.

Is there anything else that she has to take care of during the bleeding time. bleeding was quite heavy. she became very tired. other than that everything else is normal.

Thanking you,
Best regards

Hello,
You must get an ultrasound abdomen done to see whether any production of conception has been left behind or not.
You must consult your GYNO to see that everything is going fine or not.
In case any product of conception has been left behind,then you have to get it removed surgically.
Best of luck
Thanks
