Pregnant. Prescribed Mifeprin Kit. Suggested To Drink One Tablet And To Insert Other Four Through Her Vagina. Safe?

My girl friend holds 2 to 3 manth pregnancy. We had medical supervision for an abortion. The medical officer has given us Mifeprin Kit and instructed to drink a one tablet and to insert other four in one time through her vagina. Is this a safe way to do that? What would be the side effects? Can we have a baby in future? Is there any possibility to loose kids in future? Plz doctor help us.

Hello
Thanks for your query.
AM glad that the procedure has been carried out under medical supervision.
The pregnancy should have been confirmed by ultrasound, and dated too, otherwise complications such as severe bleeding, failed procedure, infection etc can result.
Also, ideally Mifepristone tablet is taken orally, and then Misoprostol 4 tablets are given vaginally or orally, so the instructions given to you are correct.
Regarding side effects, common ones are nausea, fever, pain, cramping, severe bleeding and possibility of failed abortion.
You can have a baby in the future, risks include severe infection, damage to to the lining of the uterus, and blocked tubes due to infection.
Take care.
