  5. I was given a second dose of 4 vaginal Misoprostol tablets for a medical abortion due to retained blood clots, and I am now experiencing dizziness, headache, weakness, palpitations, restlessness, and a rapid heartbeat. Could these be side effects of the Misoprostol or signs of an infection, and should I seek immediate medical help instead of waiting for my scheduled appointment?

While mild headaches and dizziness can be side effects of Misoprostol, your symptoms, especially a rapid heartbeat, palpitations, weakness, and restlessness, are warning signs that require immediate medical attention. These symptoms can indicate serious complications such as significant blood loss (haemorrhage) or a developing infection, both of which require urgent care. Do not wait for your scheduled appointment. Please go to the nearest emergency room or contact your healthcare provider immediately for an urgent evaluation.
