How Is Misoprostine And Misoprost Ingested?

Misoprostol
I have taken Misoprostine today to comence a medical abortion with the plan to take Misoprost tomorrow evening. I was told the tablets are to be taken orally and assumed they just needed swallowing, but I'm reading they need to be dissolved in the mouth, is this correct?

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Mifepristone and misoprostol is used for abortion after confirming intrauterine pregnancy of less than 9 week.

Mifepristone 600 or 200 mg should be taken orally after meal.(swallow with water)
Misoprostol 800 ug should be taken orally /vaginally under observation of gynecologist.

For oral use : misoprostol should be kept under the tongue till it dissolves.
Do not swallow. AFter 30 minutes you can swallow remaining tablet.

After 14 days usg is required to confirm incomplete abortion
Hope this may help you
Thanks and regards
