Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

Well misoprostol in combination with mifepristone is used for medical abortion, but these strictly have to be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
This is because a miscarriage can have complications which only a doctor can identify.

She needs to get checked for exactly how many weeks into the pregnancy she is, and then the appropriate dosage will be given. An ultrasound scan is also required to ascertain the exact weeks.

This is because as the preganncy advances the chances of success of the tablets decrease and she may require a surgical procedure if it fails.

Best to get a opinion from a doctor and then go ahead.

Also after the procedure you could get a Depomedroxyprogesterone (DMPA) injection or a Copper-T inserted immediately so that this doesn't happen repeatedly.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
