How Long After Taking Abortion Kit Does The Actual Process Start?

My girlfriend got the 5 pill abortion kit. She took the main pill first and 12 hours later took all 4 of the other pills. Is that the way your supposed to do it? And when should the actual abortion take place? Like when should it come out after that? It s been 16 hours and she doesn t think she has. Is this normal? Thanks

thank you for asking the question.
once you take the first pill and after 12 hours other 4 pills, then wait for 3 days or 72 hours for the abortion to take place. so don't worry or hesitate within 16 hours. it takes time for drug to get effect. so my advise is now wait and watch.
hope this will helpful to you.
