How should you use the medicines?

To end a pregnancy the medicines should be used in the following way:

  • First you should swallow one tablet of Mifepristone. This medicine blocks the effects of progesterone, the hormone that is necessary to maintain the pregnancy.
  • 24 hours later you should put 4 tablets of Misoprostol in the space between gum and cheek (the buccal cavity) and keep there there for at least 30 minutes, until the tablets are dissolved. You can swallow your saliva. After 30 minutes you can swallow the remains of the tablets.
  • 4 hours after using the first dose of Misoprostol, you should use 2 more tablets of Misoprostol in the space between gum and cheek (the buccal cavity).
