Patient's question:
My girlfriend took medicine for an abortion today, but it hasn't passed yet after three hours. So, I want to ask how long does it take for the medicine to pass after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Taking medication for abortion, the most commonly used method currently involves the combination of mifepristone and misoprostol tablets. The last three tablets taken are misoprostol tablets. Generally, within six hours after stopping the medication, embryonic tissue will be expelled. The embryonic tissue looks like meat-like material, so you need to pay close attention and observe carefully. If it hasn't been expelled within six hours, it is likely that the medication abortion has been successful. It is best to promptly go to the hospital for a D&C procedure.
