Brief Answer:
Bleeding occurs within 6 hrs to 5 days.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX, Hi
First of all I would say it is NOT safe to take these pills WITHOUT consulting a gynecologist because the risk of severe vaginal bleeding, abdominal cramps and weakness is very high and can not be managed at home. Hence, it should be used under the supervision of a qualified gynecologist.
You did not mention the duration of her pregnancy.
1. Pregnancy & its duration should be confirmed first as these pills should not be taken after 7-8 weeks of pregnancy.
2. Pregnancy should be intrauterine (within the uterine cavity), it should not be ectopic pregnancy (outside the uterine cavity) as the risk of bleeding will be very high.
The method used is wrong.
The unwanted kit contains 5 pills.
One big pill (Mifepristone) should be taken orally on empty stomach.
After 48 hrs this should be followed by 4 pills (Misoprostol) which should be taken together either orally or vaginally. It's important to take all the Misoprostol tablets together.
After 3-4 hours the bleeding will start. The bleeding lasts 3-5 days sometimes longer.
A follow up ultrasound has to be done after 2 weeks to confirm whether the abortion is completed.
So, it should be done under the supervision of a gynecologist.
Hope to have answered your query.
