Brief Answer:
repeat misoprostol

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
The method of taking the medicine was wrong.
After taking mifepristone , 4 tablets of misoprostol to be taken together after 48 hours after the mifepristone.
So your wife should have taken 4 tablets on 9 th August .
As she has had little bleeding so she has not aborted completely.
She has to repeat 4 tablets of misoprostol again.
She will have bleeding again.
After 2 weeks a ultrasound scan has to be repeated to check whether the abortion is completed.
Hope this was helpful.
Please write back if you have any queries.
Thanks
