Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your concerns. You should take 1 tablet mifepristone 200 mg orally first then followed by 4 tablet misoprostol 200 mg vaginally. Both zitotec and abortab are mifepristone so take only one of them followed misoprostol as told above. You will bleed heavily for 2 to 3 days and will have crampy pain.
Drink lots of water.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Som Biswas
