I visited a gynaecologist a few days ago. She did an ultrasound and was advised that I am 5 weeks pregnant. For abortion she gave me a few tablets and I would like to know if I have been advised the correct way to take these medicines. Day 1, 10 am: 1 mifepristone and 1 misoprostol tablet with water. Day 2, 10 am: 1 misoprostol and another misoprostol tab at 10: 30 am buccally, keeping it under the tongue until it dissolves day 2, 12: 30 pm: 2 more misoprostol tab to be taken orally with water day 3: no medicine day 4: 1 misoprostol tablet after breakfast with water day 5: 1 more misoprostol tablet after breakfast with water. Do I really need to consume so many misoprostol tablets, I have read a couple of places online that 4 misoprostol would work. So I wanted a second opinion on this just to ensure I am not over dosing on misoprostol and that these would?t impact my future pregnancy in any way.

All this has to be done under the supervision of medical professionals and not to be taken on own and as such we cannot get the results contact a medical profession in person is very important as it involves the life of a pregnant mother.

Hello lybrate-user. Actually for termination of pregnancy standard dose protocol is one mifepristone and 4 tabs of 200 mcg misoprost are required. But it can differ from gynecologist to gynecologist based on their experiences. And taking additional misoprost will not affect future pregnancies. Regarding number of misoprosts, once confirm with your doctor and then take them. Hope this helps.
