Brief Answer:
NO MISTAKE, IT IS ACCEPTABLE
Detailed Answer:
Hello again
Thank you for the elucidation.
AM glad you have consulted a doctor and got a scan done before undertaking the medical abortion.
There are various accepted regimens for the drugs for medical abortion.
Generally Mifepristone is given followed by Misoprostol at varying intervals.
It is okay if you took the doses within 12 hours.
If bleeding does not ensue in the coming 24 hours, you can repeat the dosage after another 24 hours.
If you vomit out any dose within 4 hours, repeat the dosage again, spacing the tablets out.
Do not worry, it is not a great mistake and many doctors actually prescribe the tablets within 12 - 24 hours also.
Take care.
Please feel free to revert if you have any doubts.
