What Are The Side Effects Of Misoprostol Tablet?

I took 4 pills of misoprostol orally over 24 hours ago and have only had light bleeding. Not heavy enough to even constitute changing a sanitary napkin. I am wondering if this is normal in some cases or this is a sign that the abortion is not complete and I may need another dosage of misoprostol.

Hello
Misoprostol should be taken 400 mcg as a single dose 36-48 hours after MIFEPRISTONE ( for termination of pregnancy 49 or less duration.)
So in your case this is not a therapeutic dose .
So please write down in detail ,so that proper advice could be given.
Hope this will help you.
In my opinion , alone it will not work.
I find this answer helpful
