Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.
Firstly, please understand that medical abortion pills should NEVER be taken without consulting a doctor .
There are various reasons for this.
First the pregnancy has to be confirmed by a gynaecologist, not just by a home test.
Then it has to be dated by the doctor because these pills do not work beyond a particular time range.
Next, the exact dose and regime has to be taken as per prescription, otherwise there can be various side effects such as the ones your wife is facing.
Last, whether the abortion was complete or not also can be confirmed only by a gynecologist after fifteen days of taking the pills.
There are some conditions like ectopic pregnancy ( pregnancy outside the uterus ) where if you blindly take the pills, your wife can be in a life threatening condition.
Also, without medical guidance, there are risks like severe pain, infection, uncontrolled bleeding, retained products etc.
She can even require emergency hospitalization.
Dizziness, nausea and vomiting are common side effects of Misoprostol, and abdominal pain is common after intake.
However, please URGENTLY consult a gynecologist.
Also, since she vomited after taking the tablets, they would not be effective.
You require proper examination and guidance to have this abortion.
Do not put her life at unnecessary risk.

Take care, and see a doctor IMMEDIATELY.
Wish you luck
