Sublingual misoprostol
Respected Doctor's
I had medication abortion following missed abortion at 8+2 weeks with crl 6+3 weeks.
Had sublingual misoprostol 800 mcg as advised by my gynaecologist.
Started bleeding with minimal cramps after 2 hrs.
Changed 2 pads since then with clots.
But the issue is that the tablet residue is still present under the tongue and i am not taking anything from mouth except sips of water,since 10 am.
Should I need to drink the residue with water as it's already 6 hrs or still keep it beneath the tongue.
And how much time will it take to completely dissolve.
Thanku doctor's.
