How long after taking mifepristone can you take misoprostol?

Patient's question:

How long after taking mifepristone can you take misoprostol? Can I take misoprostol on Monday if I took mifepristone on Friday and Saturday? The hospital is closed on Sunday.

Doctor's answer:

Medical Abortion: It is necessary to take medication for abortion under the guidance of a doctor.
Advantages: It does not require the use of artificial instruments, avoiding damage or infection to the reproductive organs.
Disadvantages: Medical abortion is prone to incomplete termination, where residual fetal membrane tissue can cause severe bleeding (hemorrhage). This may require a follow-up procedure (dilation and curettage) to clear the remaining tissue. If left untreated, it can pose a life-threatening risk. Therefore, doctors generally do not recommend medical abortion for women.
