My wife is 2 weeks pregnant and we want an abortion. Is the Misoprost 200 mcg tablet effective for this, and what are its potential side effects?
Asked by Female, 28 · 9 hours ago
Misoprostol 200 mcg can induce abortion, but it is significantly safer and more effective (over 95%) when combined with Mifepristone. Using misoprostol alone is less effective and carries higher risks of incomplete abortion. Note that clinical pregnancy is dated from the last menstrual period; at ?2 weeks?, pregnancy is rarely confirmed. Common side effects include severe abdominal cramps, heavy bleeding with clots, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and temporary fever. Please do not self-medicate. Consult an obstetrician-gynaecologist immediately for an ultrasound to confirm gestational age and receive a safe, legal, and medically supervised prescription.
