Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Let me explain the process of medical abortion to you.
Generally Mifeprin is taken followed by Mifepristone 2 tablets after 48 hours and 2 more tablets after another 24 hours.
Cytolog and Zitotec is same, there is no difference, content is same.
Yes, dose is enough to get the abortion.
In 4 % of cases, pills might fail and you might need medical abortion.
Repeat ultrasound scan is advised after 15 days to confirm that abortion was complete.
So please get that done.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.
