Hello dear.
Understand your concern
Always use abortion pill under advice and directives of obstetrician.
Following are the dose of arthotec: 800 ug vaginally/buccally every 5-6 hour maximum 3 dose under medical surveillance.
Ideally is is used with mifepristone.
Bleeding occur maximum up to 7 days. So wait for 1-2 days. If not stops you should consult the obstetrician and get the done USG scan to test incomplete abortion.
If incomplete abortion will be there, treated by surgical process like evacuation.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
