In combination with mifepristone misoprostol should be used only for the intended purpose and under the supervision of an obstetrician-gynecologist, and only in specialized medical institutions that have the capacity to provide emergency, surgical gynecological and blood transfusion care. The use of the drug requires the prevention of Rh-conflict and other common activities associated with abortion.Before the appointment of misoprostol, the patient should be informed in detail about the pharmacological action and possible side effects of the drug.
The patient should be observed in the conditions of the medical institution within 2-3 hours after taking the drug. After taking misoprostol, as a rule, there is a slight vaginal bleeding, in some women - very long. In case of massive bleeding or the development of other complications, the patient should be provided with timely medical assistance. In 80% of cases spontaneous abortion occurs within 6 hours, in 10% - within 1 week. At a very early gestation period spontaneous abortion is possible after taking one mifepristone, but in this case, it is still necessary to take misoprostol to optimize the drug effect.
After 10-14 days the patient needs to undergo a second examination in the same medical institution. If necessary, perform ultrasound (ultrasound) or determine the level of chorionic gonadotropin in the blood serum.
If there is a suspicion of incomplete abortion or retention of pregnancy, assessed 10-14 days after taking mifepristone,Vacuum-voiding followed by histological examination of the aspirate.
