This explains how the Unwanted Tablet (mifepristone) works, its safety considerations, typical side effects, and the next steps you should take.

⚕️ What this is

• Unwanted Tablet (mifepristone) is used with misoprostol to terminate an early pregnancy (generally up to ~70 days).
• It works by blocking progesterone so the pregnancy stops; it must be used under a doctor’s supervision and with a prescription.

💊 How to take & safety

• Typical regimen: mifepristone orally with food, followed by misoprostol 24–48 hours later as directed by a doctor; follow exact dosing and timing from your prescriber.
• Do not self-administer without confirmation of intrauterine pregnancy and medical guidance; inform your doctor if you have an intrauterine device (IUD), history of ectopic pregnancy, bleeding disorder, heart problems, or if you are breastfeeding.
• Avoid driving or tasks requiring intense focus if you feel dizzy or unwell after medication.

⚠️ Side effects & red flags

• Common: heavy uterine bleeding, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, dizziness.
• Serious risks: incomplete abortion, infection, ongoing pregnancy if medication fails.
• Seek urgent care if you have:
  • Very heavy bleeding (soaking >2 pads/hour for 2 consecutive hours),
  • Fever >38°C (100.4°F) lasting >24 hours,
  • Fainting, severe abdominal pain, or signs of infection.

🩺 Next steps

• See an obstetrician-gynecologist for pregnancy confirmation and ultrasound to exclude ectopic pregnancy, get a prescription, and arrange follow-up.
• Plan follow-up visits and contraception afterward; avoid heavy exercise and sexual activity until cleared by your doctor.
