Brief Answer:
Wait for the bleeding to start.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Generally, 1 tablet of Mifepristone is taken orally.
24 hours later, 2 tablets of 200 mcg Cytotec are taken orally or vaginally followed by 2 more such tablets another 24 hours later.
After this procedure, bleeding and cramping might start within 24 - 48 hours, and continue for upto 2 - 3 weeks.
If your wife has taken mifepristone tablet first and the pregnancy is of less than 7 weeks then bleeding will start in next 1-2 days. Just wait and please do not worry. Take rest of the two tablets orally or vaginally 24 hours later.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Anti spasmodic will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
She can take an antispasmodic like Drotaverine to decrease the pain. In case the bleeding the heavy then do consult a gynecologist for proper treatment. It is best to get an ultrasound scan done after a week to confirm that the abortion is complete. Do take such medicines always under your doctor's supervision to avoid complications. Do take any more tablets now since she has already taken all the five tablets.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
