What if I throw up after taking the pills?

Mifepristone is absorbed in the digestive system in about 1.5 hours. There is no need to worry if the vomiting happens after that period of time.

If it happens earlier, it is recommended to repeat the dose of mifepristone. If it is not possible to repeat the mifepristone, it is possible to continue with only misoprostol and follow the recommendations for a misoprostol-only abortion as closely as possible. This will mean that using extra doses of misoprostol will be necessary to get the best results. You can contact us if you have any doubts.

A big enough dose of misoprostol is absorbed into the system during the half hour it is held in the mouth. There is no need to worry if the vomiting happens after that period of time. If it starts earlier it might be possible to take the pills out and put them in again. If that doesn't work, it would be best to take another dose.
