Is Vomiting And Vaginal Bleeding Post Intake Of Misoprostol Normal?

Is vomiting followed by vaginal bleeding post intake of Misoprostol normal? Hi. I took 4 tablets of misoprostol today after taking mifepristone 48 hours ago. While taking misoprostol, one tablet was partially dissolved in mouth. Rest I swallowed. But i vomited within 45 minutes after orally taking the misoprostol tablets. No tablet was seen in the vomit as such. However i started to bleed substantially with some large clots too after about 2 hours. What shall i do? Is everything okay or Do I need to repeat misoprostol? Thanks.

Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You vomited 45 minutes after taking misoprostol so he is absorbed completely an you also had bleeding which is its effect.
Do not repeat dose since it was taken successfully.
Bleeding is normal sign of abortion.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
