Mifepristone and misoprostol use is a two-step method.First, your doctor gives you a dose of mifepristone tablets by mouth. Mifepristone causes the placenta to separate from the endometrium. It also softens the cervix and increases uterine contractions to allow the uterine contents to pass. For reference, see a picture of the reproductive organs .Second, you take tablets of misoprostol by mouth or insert them vaginally, usually within 48 hours of mifepristone. Depending on the dose and how it is given, this could be as soon as 6 hours after the mifepristone.1 Some doctors may give misoprostol buccally (dissolved between the gums and cheek). Misoprostol causes uterine contractions so that your body passes the uterine contents. Some clinics may have you stay for 4 hours after misoprostol is given, because if serious side effects occur, they usually occur in this time period and can then be treated. The pregnancy may end in the clinic or later at home. Some doctors allow their patients to take misoprostol at home and then the pregnancy ends (like a miscarriage) at home.A medical abortion usually requires at least two visits to your doctor over several weeks. For the first visit, one medicine is taken during the visit and a second medicine is given to be taken at home. The second visit is a follow-up appointment, usually scheduled about 2 weeks after the first visit, to make sure the pregnancy has ended and no complications are present. If a medical abortion is not successful, a surgical abortion is then done to complete the process because misoprostol can cause fetal abnormalities.You can take pain medicine by mouth for this medical procedure.Why It Is Used
It is advised to take abortion pills as follows: 1 Mifepristone pill orally with water at 9 pm or as per your own schedule, wait for 24 hours, and at the same time take 2 pills of Misoprostol sublingually and last 2 tabs of Misoprostol vaginally. This way you can complete the full course within 48 to 72 hours and then wait till the pills work. Eat normal food, Avoid oily, fried spicy food. Med. may give you acidity. Avoid soft drinks or hard drinks. Have juice after dinner and Take plenty of water.
I do!
Women who are more than seven weeks pregnant (or 49 days since their last menstrual period) should not take mifepristone. Mifepristone at a lower dose is also available in some Asian countries for use as emergency contraception.
There is no medication to take in that time frame to terminate a pregnancy; but, then again, most people don't know they're pregnant at 1-2 weeks after the last period, which is how the duration of pregnancy is counted. Please see your heath care provider or your local family planning office to clarify your options, and how far along you are. Don't delay - this is important.
