Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood the concern. If your wife has taken a guided medication, the abortion should occur within 6-12 hours after the final intake. Vaginal administration of the subsequent doses has been shown to be more effective in inducing the abortion than the oral route. If you have self-medicated, I would ask you to see a specialist immediately for further management. It is possible that the dosage may have been insufficient or improper. Sometimes, the dosage may have to be repeated. Hope your query has been clarified. Take care.

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Always use medical abortion after the advice of gynecologist regarding dosage, route and time of administration.
A home use is illegal and cause complication like excessive bleeding, incomplete abortion and abnormal development of baby in failure which are not controllable at home.
Mifepristone should be followed by Tab. Misoprostol 800 mcg (4 tablet of 200 mcg)either vaginally/orally under the supervision of gynecologist after 24-48 hours
If bleeding will not come, you can use another two dose of Tab. Misoprostol 800 mcg at 6 hour interval
Bleeding comes with in 1-2 hour after taking misoprostol.
If not come take more two tablet vaginally or orally.Better to consult the gynecologist.

D14: Follow up USG to confirm the completeness of abortion process (Checking for incomplete abortion)

Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
