PAST HISTORY : Hi i am 23 days pregnant, Confirmed after blood HCG test. Consulted doctor, she prescribed Mankind's Unwanted Kit. She told to use it as per instruction ..I read the manual its written to take 4-misoprostol tablets after 1-3 days of taking the mifepristone tablet.
Its mentioned to take Misoprostol Vaginally. As my pregnancy is only 23 days i don't want to take misoprostol vaginally..rather i want to take it orally. Can i take Mankind Brand's Unwanted Kit's Misoprostol dose orally in my case. If not mankinds any other good brands..cipla, sun alternative for using misoprostol orally.

Hi,
Misoprostol tablet is same which can be taken orally as well as vaginally.
You don't need to take leave or call somebody from home, cramps will be there and you can take pain killers for that(meftal spas 1 bd twice daily). You can also use hot water bottle to keep over your abdomen to relive spasm of abdominal muscles. Have plenty of water to avoid dehydration and have a high protein diet to to avoid any weakness.
Feel free to ask further questions.

Hi,
The time gap is same whether drug (misoprostol)taken orally or vaginally.the drug whether taken orally or vaginally it is to be taken 2+2,you will take the first dose after 24 hours of mifepristone and then after 12 hours rest of the 2 tablets. But these drugs will be useful only if the pregnancy is intrauterine. Hope you have confirmed that.
Yes it is possible that some products of conception are retained even after drugs and that can be confirmed only after an ultrasound,which is to be done after the bleeding is over,which will occur due to the drugs.(and if some products are retained in uterus,then the products will have to be taken out by dilation and curretage)
When misoprost is taken vaginally,it might be a little superior. But I have not noticed any major diffrence taken by any route,so you can take it by any route which ever suits you.
