Hi,

Firstly thanks for consulting us.

Your gynaecologist have rightly given you the MIFEPRIN(mifepristone 200mg)-ZITOTEC(misoprostol)

1]Mifepristone-Misoprostol---

FDA-approved regimen -orally tablet

DOSES -Mifepristone-200mg tablet-------three tablet stat orally and after 48 hrly later

Misoprostol-200mcg tablet-------two tablet orally

this regimen used for first 49 days
Success rate 98%

It will be alright within 1 week after taking the Misoprostol. There after some abdominal pain and bleeding is normal. The product will also come out, if any complication occurs-i.e. severe bleeding, partial product of conception then consult your gynaecologist and go for-

suction evaculation/dilatation and evacuation.

Any way as it is within 49 days the chances of success is 98%. Just hope for the best.

Have a good health.
