Hi.
It is not safe to take medicine like this. The tablets will cause diarrhoea and cramps more. If it has not helped you, then please get one scan done first, as one must rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy before taking such drugs. You can safely get D&C done from a gynecologist.
Thanks.
