Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Misoprostol is not effective for contraception when swallowed .it should be used sub lingual or buccally to be effective.if nausea/vomiting is a concern then it can used vaginally for contraception.use single dose of 400-800mcg vaginally for contraception.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
