Brief Answer:
This is prescribed for medical termination of pregnancy (abortion)

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.

First of all I would like to suggest you that it is not safe to take the MTP pill yourself without consulting a gynecologist.

Urine pregnancy test should be done with early morning urine sample.

If positive then an Ultrasound scan should be done to confirm the pregnancy. It works if the pregnancy is less than 7 weeks. Else it is not safe to take it.


Kit consists of one large tablet Mifepristone to be taken at once on empty stomach and then after 48 hours of that take the 4 tablets of Misoprostol together.
After taking full kit, abortion occurs anytime between 6 hours to 5 days.
But in few patients there can be an incomplete abortion or excessive vaginal bleeding and in that case you have to visit a gynecologist.

An ultrasound has to be done after 2 weeks to confirm whether the abortion is completed.

Hope the suggestion given will be of use to you after visiting a gynec doctor.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
The remaining 4 tablets of Misoprostol to be taken orally.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome back to HCM.

Since she has taken the first table of Mifepristone yesterday, the remaining 4 tablets of Misopristol should also be taken orally at once.
She can take domstal and meftal spasm for nausea and cramps respectively.
Usually the bleeding starts after 3-4 hours and lasts for 3-5 days, if the bleeding does not stop then you have to consult your treating gynecologist to rule out incomplete abortion.

Hope this answers your question.
