Suggest Dosage For Misoprostol And Mifepristone
Question: What are the chances of complete abortion with one 200 mg of mifepristone taken orally and four 200 mg of misoprostol taken 24 hours later orally underneath the tongue dissolved for 30 minutes? Effectiveness? Pregnancy is only 2 to 3 weeks along, bleeding occured after 2 hours of administered misoprostol and all were taken at once. Cramping and bleeding with small clots for around 8 to 12 hours then subsided but no notible clots fell out, just small ones. Thanks a lot
Brief Answer:
Most likely termination is complete.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
As you had appropriate dose of abortion pills and at right interval and you are only 2-3 weeks pregnant ( abortion pills effective upto 49 days) the chances of complete abortion is more in your case( as it is 98% effective).
But abortion pills should always be taken under supervision of a Gynecologist or an expert.
So by the rule you should get your ultrasound scan 10 days after the pills to rule out weather abortion is completed or not.
Hope found useful, feel free to discuss more information.
Good luck.
Regards
