After how many hours later misoprostrol should be taken?
The recommended time to take misoprostol (Cytotec) after taking mifepristone (Mifeprex) depends on the specific regimen you are following for medical abortion. Here are the two most common regimens:
1. Single-dose misoprostol: In this regimen, you will take a single dose of misoprostol 24 to 48 hours after taking mifepristone.
2. Two-dose misoprostol: In this regimen, you will take two doses of misoprostol, each 12 hours apart. The first dose is taken 24 to 48 hours after taking mifepristone.
It is important to follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the instructions included with your medication to ensure the safe and effective use of misoprostol. Do not take misoprostol at a different time or dose than prescribed without consulting a healthcare professional.
