What will happen if the first Mifepristone 200 mg tablet is taken after food at 9:30 PM, and the next day at the same time, only two Misoprostol 200 mcg tablets are taken after food?

Asked by Male, 24 · 4 months ago

Taking the first Mifepristone 200 mg tablet after food at 9:30 PM, followed by two Misoprostol 200 mcg tablets 24 hours later, follows the correct timing but uses an insufficient Misoprostol dose. As per World Health Organisation (WHO) and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (India) guidelines, a complete medical abortion requires 800 mcg of Misoprostol (four tablets of 200 mcg each) taken 24–48 hours after Mifepristone. Taking only two tablets (400 mcg) may result in an incomplete abortion, leading to continued bleeding, abdominal cramps, or retained pregnancy tissue that could require further medication or a surgical procedure. It is strongly advised to consult a gynaecologist and undergo an ultrasound to confirm whether the abortion is complete and to receive appropriate medical guidance.

It sounds like you're asking about the timing of taking your tablets after food at 9:30 PM and then the next two tablets at the same time the following day.

Taking your first tablet after food at 9:30 PM and then the next two tablets after food at the same time the following day generally means you are spacing your doses about 24 hours apart, which is common for many medications. However, the exact effect depends on the specific medicine, its dosing schedule, and your health condition.

  • If your medication is meant to be taken multiple times a day, taking all doses at once the next day might reduce its effectiveness or increase side effects.
  • If it's a once-daily medicine, this schedule might be acceptable.
  • Always follow the prescribed timing and dosage instructions carefully.
  • Taking tablets with food, if instructed, helps reduce stomach upset or improves absorption.

If you are unsure or if this schedule differs from what your doctor advised, please consult your prescribing doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, seek medical advice promptly.
