Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the 1 st medicine is used for dissolution of conceptus and 2 nd medicine is used for expulsion of dissoluted conceptus.So even if it is beyond 72 hours take it as soon as possible.If bleeding doesnot occur then it indicates failed medical method and you might need surgical procedure.If bleeding occurs ultrasound might be needed after 14 days to rule out any incomplete abortion.
