Hi,
Abortion pill contains hormones in high dosage. Which causes separation of fetus from uterus &then uterine contractions to expel it out. But after the repulsion physical examination or USG scan is essential to confirm complete abortion. You should go for it. Please consult a sonologist / gynecologist for confirmation of complete abortion.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
