How Safe Is Taking Cycotec ?
On January the 5th I took some pills called cycotec to cause a miscarriage... I took 2 orally and 2 vaginally I bleed for 2 & 1/2 days and I lost a lot of blood and saw big chunks of blood clots.. It's been 6 weeks since then and my home pregnancy tests still say positive.. Does this mean it didn't work? :/

Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
cytotec will cause bleeding and miscarriage but the recommendations are that it has to be taken 48 hours after mifepristone.
the drug May not have caused complete abortion. You will need an ultrasound scan to determine the completeness.
thanks
