Hi

Greetings from HealthcareMagic!

I can understand your anxiety. Misoprostol is generally prescribed for many purpose like postpartum bleeding, labor induction, gastric ulcer and most commonly as an alternate for surgical abortion. I think you had taken if for abortion. Generally it is preferred before 12 weeks of pregnancy. (12 tablets of 200 mg). Bleeding started around mid night means the action of drug is very good. Morning the bleeding is stopped means, it is good sign of completion of process. Light blood like liquid on Monday afternoon may be due to remnants or left over particles. Now you are not bleeding means in my opinion it is successful.
