Brief Answer:
Discuss with your doctor and use Mifepristone followed by Misoprostol.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
Self medication is dangerous. Therefore I advise you to first consult your doctor and make sure that the pregnancy is within the uterus ( by ultrasound ) and you do not have any contraindications for using the medicines.
Cytotec used alone ( correctly as per instructions from your doctor) is up to 85% effective in bringing about abortion.
I advise you to discuss with your doctor and use Mifepristone followed by Misoprostol. These medications used together are 95-98% effective in bringing about abortion.
I hope I have answered your concerns. If you have any further concerns do contact me through Healthcare Magic. I will be happy to answer.
