Once the process begins, cramping occurs and the expulsion of the uterine contents begins with the exit of clots of different sizes depending on the weeks of pregnancy. It is important to take analgesics before and during the process for pain control. There may be bleeding or spotting for up to two weeks.   <\/p>\n<p>It is highly recommended to be aware of the warning signs, which can be consulted below on this page.<\/p>\n<p>The medications used are mifepristone and misoprostol combined or misoprostol alone. Both options are highly effective. For example, when 100 women use the two drugs combined, 95 of them achieve safe and effective expulsion of the contents of the uterus. Only 2 out of 100 women will have a complication when using the drug in less than 10 weeks of pregnancy (Ipas, 2020, pp. 82-83).   <\/p>\n<p>In the case of the misoprostol-only regimen used before 13 weeks gestation, out of 100 women who use the drug, 80 to 85 of them effectively expel the contents of the uterus.
