Does Crushing And Drinking Misoprostol Make It More Potent?
Question: I notice that a lot of instructions say that misoprostol has to be taken under the tongue but I know a lady who crushed up the medication and drank and was able to have an abortion at 16 weeks. Does crushing and drinking it make it more potent?
Brief Answer:
It doesn’t make it any more potent.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
Crushing and swallowing this medication docent make it any more potent. The recommended way to take is by placing under the tongue and that’s the most effective way. If she however took it that way, it doesn’t make it any better. Please, if you are trying to get an abortion carried out, I will recommend you talk to a doctor who would evaluate your state and make the necessary recommendations.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

I am not trying to carry out one. I just wanted to know if it was possible to induce one by swallowing the tablets for a book report.
