Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My girlfriend is four weeks pregnant and it was an unwanted pregnancy. The unwanted 72 pills she took within 12 hours did not work. What can be done to abort it?

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

For the abortion, I recommend taking two tablets of Misoprostol 200 milligrams orally and two tablets inserted vaginally to help with the process. For PCOS, take one tablet of Medroxyprogesterone 10 milligrams once a day for one month.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at iCliniq.

Thank you.
