Hello,
Firstly, she has been given a higher dose of the medication. She seems to be having the side effects of the drug. If she was seen by a specialist, confirmed of an intrauterine pregnancy and also the age of gestation, you may follow the prescription of the consultant. If not, you should contact a gynecologist for advice. It would be advisable to repeat the doses after 6 hours and with the consent of your consultant. Take care.
