Brief Answer:
no relationship with meals

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
There is no relation to food but take light food only because in some patients there is a vomiting tendency once the abortion process starts so can be little difficult.
You can have water etc as usual.
Take care

I have one more ques.
I am told to have 2 misoprostol tabs after 24 hrs and tht will finish the course.
So the same applies to these tabs as well with regards to food?

yes take it as advised

Detailed Answer:
Yes dear, take misoprostol as advised. It has no relationship with food either but still take light meals only because it can also cause slight nausea and even vomiting.

Hi mam

Thanks fpr all your help.
i took 2 misoprostol at 5.30 p.m. and right now its 03.50 a.m. here
ever since i have really bad lower abdomen pain.
have already taken bruffen twice but it's not really helping.
i feel its due to gas in my stomach, it is okay for me to take Malox tab For gas release?


Waiting for your reply.

Brief Answer:
can be taken

Detailed Answer:
Malox tablet can be taken and most probably it will be helpful.
But in case you don't feel relieved take tablet mefanamic acid.
Once abortion process completes it will be cured fully by itself.
Take care
