Hallow Dear,

For medical termination of pregnancy, Cytotec (Misoprostol) is either taken with Mifepristone or alone. The doses of each regime differ. These are very successful medicines in terminating pregnancy upto 9 weeks of pregnancy.

These medicines are not to be taken over the counter. They are prescription medicines. Please report to your Gynaecologist and get the appropriate dose prescribed from him/her. Inappropriate dosage may cause failure of medicines.

Also remember that these medicines do cause developmental abnormalities in the baby. Hence, if they fail to abort the pregnancy, it should be terminated some surgical method like MVA aspiration or so.

I hope this gives you the message and you take proper steps.
