Patient's question:
What are the reactions after taking Mifepristone for medication abortion? Is it normal not to have any physical reactions? How can one determine if the medication abortion is complete?Doctor's answer:
Hello! For medication-induced abortion, you need to take three tablets of misoprostol on an empty stomach in the morning after completing the mifepristone tablets. Generally, most people start experiencing abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding again about half an hour after taking misoprostol. The gestational sac can usually be expelled within 8 hours, but some people may be less sensitive and take a bit longer. A careful ultrasound examination can help determine if the medication-induced abortion is complete.
