Question 1

hi there, can mifepristone and misoprostol be detected in a urine sample taken to check for a uti?

Accepted Answer

Maybe if they look: The usual urine testing for a UTI consists of examining a concentrated amount for germs or pus, and a strip lined with disclosure chemicals to detect protein, sugar,ketones, and other factors common to urinary issues. A sample is also sent to see if germs will grow in the lab. It does not look for the drugs listed, or any other drug, unless specifically ordered by the doc.

Question 2

how do i take misoprostol for abortion ? please help

Accepted Answer

Not by yourself.: If you're contemplating an abortion, you need to be seen by a doctor in order to figure out how far along you are and to discuss the fine details of the procedure, of which misoprostol is only ONE component. Abortion is safe and your doctors are better trained to guide you in a safe way. See a gynecologist asap.

Question 3

if the abortion pill doesn't work within 24 hours should i take the second misoprostol pill?

Accepted Answer

: According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), if a woman takes the first pill (mifepristone) for a medication abortion and it doesn't work within 24 hours, she should still take the second pill (misoprostol) as directed. The ACOG states that the misoprostol can still be effective even if taken more than 24 hours after the mifepristone.

Question 4

is it necessary to take misoprostol after taking mifeprestone even if one is bleeding a lot ?

Accepted Answer

Follow your doc : Please take your medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you have concerns please ask the doctor who is managing your problem.

Question 5

hello dr.
good morning
3hours after taking first dose of misoprostol bleeding is starting. it will be right to take next dose or not ?
plz suggest

Accepted Answer

Depends: it depends on how far along you are in pregnancy, dose and whether you've already experienced a miscarriage and completing process. Are you taking this vaginally or under the tongue?  You may need to give it 1-2 weeks to work fully. If you experience heavy bleeding then contact you doctor immediately. Without more info, please call your doctor and ask before taking the 2nd pill.

Question 6

so i had to take 4 misoprostol today at 4:30 and its did what it was supposed to do. do i need to take another four? im scared to because i dont want it to make me bleed out?

Accepted Answer

: You statement is not clear "it’s did what it was supposed to do". Do you mean "it did what it was supposed to do"?  If it is correct then you had contraction and bleeding which meant the medical abortion is considered successful after taking 4 tablets then you do not need another course. However,  you should recheck your urine in 4 weeks to make sure test is no longer positive.

Question 7

can i still take misoprostol if its been a little over 48 hours since i took mifepristone? i shouldve taken it today at 3:30 pm and its not after midnight and i still havent taken it cause im scared its gonna hurt too bad?

Accepted Answer

: Hopefully you are doing this with medical consultation and supervision, but in terms of timing it is not too late to take misoprostol. You are in an awkward position since you are ambivalent about what you are doing but you may already be past a point of no return. Heavy bleeding and cramping should be expected, but the severity varies.

Question 8

what happens when u take cytotec (misoprostol)?

Accepted Answer

It can hurt.: Misoprostol is a prostaglandin that stimulates carious smooth muscle organs to contract, including the uterus, bowel, bladder. It can cause transient fever, tachycardia, nausea/vomiting and pain from the colicky contractions it induces. No long-term adverse effects are known. Adequate pain control when taking Cytotec (misoprostol) is certainly advisable in a hospital setting under medical care.

Question 9

its been 6hrs since i take cytotec. and i dont get any bleeding what should i do?

Accepted Answer

"Cytotec" usage: "Cytotec" (misoprostol) is used to induce a miscarriage or to control post delivery hemorrhage.  Consult the healthcare provider who prescribed Cytotec for additional medications and alternatives.

Question 10

how quickly can i expect misoprostol to begin to take effect? once i begin misoprostol, how soon can i expect it to start working?

Accepted Answer

within few minutes: It works right away as itis absorped within few minutes and has to be taken200microgram tablet four times a day.
