Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Mefipristone and misoprostol combination has been well known for causing first trimestre abortion.Four tablets of 200mg mosoprostol at a time no matter food or not may induce an abortion.It is the recommended first trimester abortion dose.However, the chances of succeding if above 12 weeks of pregnancy is lower but is still possible.I will suggest you take the drugs as prescribed by your Doctor and if any funny evolution you see him for evaluation.You may inform your Doctor if you are more than 12 weeks pregnant.
Hope this will help
Best regards
