Hello dear , welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your question and here is my advice.
You can put the pills in the vagina or take them by mouth. Take the pills with food if you take them by the mouth. This can cause less stomach upset, belly pain or diarrhea. Do not take misoprostol with antacids or calcium if you take it by mouth. Antacids are medications that are used to treat heartburn or sour stomach. There may be fewer side effects if you take the pills vaginally. If you take the pills vaginally, try to go to the bathroom before inserting the pills, then lie down for at least 30 minutes.
You may start to bleed 1 hour after taking misoprostol. Wear a night- time sanitary napkin before taking the pills. The bleeding usually looks like a menstrual period and lasts for 7-10 days. You may have spotting after the bleeding stops. You may spot until your next period. Usually, you should expect to have your next period 4-6 weeks after taking misoprostol.
Take a non expired tablet because if it is expired will not be effective.
Hope I have answered your questions.
