Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
For termination of pregnancy of less than 7 weeks, taking only cytotec tablets is nbot sufficient. To have a complete abortion, you also need to take mifepristone tablets orally after consulting your gynecologist.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
