Hello

Thanks for your query

Misoprostol and mifegest is not 100% effective, it has its failure rates also.

There are so many cases in which pregnancy remains as such even after full course of misoprostol & mifegest. We are regularly seeing such cases in our clinic. Stoppage of vomiting alone is not of any significance, it may only indicate that live pregnancy has becomes missed one.

I would suggest her to get her pregnancy test done and also ultrasound lower abdomen to clear the position & get treated as per the need of report. And treatment is to under strict supervision of a gynecologist.

Hello and thanks again,

The symptoms noticed after taking misoprostol and mifegest are the same irrespective of pregnancy status.

I guess you are looking for long term effects here. I have till now not seen any serious side effects of these medicine in my carrier and hundreds of our patient are taking these drugs. So you need not worry. However, I suggest you not to take prescription medication such as these in the future without a doctors advice.

Hope I have answered your query.
