Brief Answer:
Please get an ultrasound scan done

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns cytotec.

Following is my reply:

1) Cytotec tablets should not be taken without ultrasound scan.

2) Please get an ultrasound scan done to check if pregnancy is intrauterine or outside.

3) Cytotec if taken in ectopic pregnancy can be life threatening and cause life threatening complications. Please dont take without scan.

4) More over you need to take mifepristone first. Please get prescription for mifepristone. Taking cytotec directly may not complete abortion process.

5) Better to do all this procedure under guidance of a gynecologist.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya
