Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
First of all, did you take the pills after consultation with a gynaecologist ?
This must always be done.
This is because the pills work within a very narrow time frame.
The pregnancy should be confirmed and dated by a doctor, who will then decide if pills would work or surgical abortion is best.
Then the correct dosage and schedule of drug intake should be followed.
First one tablet of Mifepristone followed by 4 tablets of Misoprostol should be taken.
Please let me know the dates when these were taken.
You should wait for heavy bleeding with cramps and expulsion of fleshy mass to occur within 24 - 48 hours.
If you do not consult a doctor before taking these tablets, there are grave risks such as heavy bleeding, infection, incomplete abortion, undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy, etc.
I hope you have not made this mistake.
Regarding your next steps -
1. If you have not seen a doctor, please see one immediately.
2. If pills were taken under medical guidance, then wait for 1 - 2 more days for bleeding to begin.
3. Let me know exact dates and time of intake of individual medication.
4. Did she have any vomiting / diarrhoea after pill intake ?
ONce the bleeding starts, it can continue for a few days, and spotting can follow for a few more days.
It is compulsory to have a follow up visit after 15 days to document an ultrasound scan which should show that the uterus is now empty and the pills worked and the abortion is complete.
In future, always use protection.
Take care, and please feel free to discuss further.

Hello
As you have consulted a doctor, then do not worry.
Just relax.
You have taken the 4 pills just last night.
Wait until tomorrow at least for the bleeding to begin, and then let me know.
Do not take any painkillers if possible, even if the bleeding is heavy with cramps.
She can rest with a hot water bottle.
Take care, and do tell me what happens further.

I am sure that she will be fine.
Medical abortion pills have a failure rate of only 4 %, that means in 96 % of cases, if correctly taken after medical guidance, they will work.
Please be patient.
Do not forget to have a follow up checkup 15 days after the bleeding.
Take care.
