Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
I think you are referring to ergot capsules, these are not approved for the purpose of abortion.
They are also Pregnancy Category X, once you have consumed them, continuation of pregnancy is not an option anymore.
I hope the pregnancy has been thoroughly confirmed by your doctor.
Medical abortion pills work within a narrow time frame, so it has to be very accurately dated too.
There are various regimens for medical abortion pills, and each country has its own norms.
Generally all of them are more or less comparable in efficacy .
Do NOT take any medication on your own, there are lots of potential side effects, some of which could be lethal too.
Get the pregnancy confirmed by a doctor, and then have it accurately dated.
Next, please take the medications as prescribed by the doctor.
Surgical abortion would be recommended if necessary.
Follow the correct protocol of the medications, as prescribed by the doctor, complying with the norms of the country in which you are currently residing.
Please have a follow up visit after 15 days to confirm that the abortion was indeed complete.
Otherwise there can be complications such as severe bleeding, infection, retained products of conception, need for surgical abortion, undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy etc.
Please follow the steps as delineated by your gynecologist.
You should know that these pills fail in 4 % of cases, so go ahead knowing those statistics.
Also, you would experience severe cramping pain with bleeding with clots, and expulsion of a fleshy mass, within 48 hours of taking those pills.
They are relatively safe if taken under medical guidance.
All the best
Take care.
