Hallow Dear,
Mifepristone 200 mg followed by Misoprostol 400 micrograms (for pregnancy up to 7 weeks) and 800 mcgms (for pregnancy up to 9 weeks) 24-48 hours after that is a very effective and successful method for termination of pregnancy. However, if it fails, I would not advise you to change the decision and continue pregnancy as there are chances of malformation in the baby. Hence, in case of failure, please get the pregnancy terminated by surgical evacuation from an Obstetrician.
Hope this helps,
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
