How Long After Taking Misoprostol Will Bleeding Resume?

we have bought mankind unwanted kit, yesterday my girl took mifepristone in morning around 3 am. After 35 hours (just now) she took 4 tablets(200mcg each) of misoprostal(placed them under the tongue). Is it correct to take all 4 at a time and how long will the pain and bleeding occur? and even i read some of the articles saying that she should take two more misoprostal after 4 hours of 4 tablets of misoprostal, May i know correct procedure.

Hi
Misoprostol and mifepristone can be used for abortion in the first 12 weeks with a very high success rate.However, an idea of her last menstrual period could help us guide you better.The action of these medications vary from individual to individual depending on the individual's cervical response to the drugs. Its effects however starts in about 4 hours with abdominal cramps followed by bleeding and can last for up to 12 hours.If it does not work, it does not mean that the drug can not work for her.She will need to renew the dose but this time around, 2 tablets of misoprostol under the tongue and 2 in the vaginal to have a faster cervical response due to the local action of misoprostol.After thing these drugs, observe for too intense pain and excessive bleeding.If any, you see the Doctor for evaluation.
