Hi,
You can take Mifepristone at anytime of the day. Swallowing Misoprostol rather than under the tongue or cheek will reduce the absorption and the drug availability. Alternatively, if you have nausea or vomiting by taking it orally you can try to keep it vaginally also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
