Can I take misoprostol after taking mifepristone for medication abortion?

Patient's question:

Did you take Mifepristone for medication abortion and have already started bleeding? Do you still need to take Misoprostol?

Doctor's answer:

For the issue you mentioned, if it is about a female medication-induced abortion where the gestational sac has already been expelled, you should still take Misoprostol tablets as prescribed. Misoprostol tablets have uterine contracting effects, and such medications help in the complete recovery of the uterus and the expulsion of residual tissue in the uterine cavity. Additionally, appropriate oral anti-inflammatory medications can be taken to further aid in the complete recovery of the uterus. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
