Misoprostol is to be taken 48 hours after taking the mifepristone.

Brief Answer:
Not after mifepristone

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Normally, no bleeding or expulsion of products of conception occurs with mifepristone, it occurs after taking misoprostol.
So, you should wait after taking misoprostol.
