Light Bleeding, Taken Expired Cytotec Tablets For Abortion. Will Expired Tablets Work?

I took an 2 months expired cytotec. Took 2 orally and 2 vaginal. I have done it twice with 48 hours and i had very light bleeding. Is the medicine not working because it has expired. I have an appointment with a doctor in 4 days. They will be doing an ultra sound and will be giving me pills for the abortion. Will the new unexpired tablets work?

Hello,

Expired tablet does not work properly in comparison to non-expired tab. They may cause serious ill health effect. So, you never take expired tab in future.

You must contact with your doctor and undergo USG scan for overall assessment of the abortion procedure. Take suggestive treatment accordingly.
