Step 1

Swallow 3 tablets of misoprostol (600mcg) with a glass of water

OR place 2 tablets (400mcg) under the tongue and allow to dissolve for 30 minutes. Swallow what is left in your mouth with water.

What to expect after taking Misoclear

You can expect moderate to heavy bleeding with passage of clots, and cramping. It’s normal to have some bleeding and spotting for several weeks afterwards. Using menstrual pads can help you track how much you bleed.

You may have cramping on and off for 1 or 2 more days. You may also get other side effects such as chills, vomiting, and diarrhoea.

Bleeding and cramps are a sign the misoprostol is working, and this will usually lessen once the pregnancy tissue has passed.

Read our frequently asked questions if you have any concerns, or visit our side effects page for information on how to manage your symptoms.

Rare complications requiring medical attention

You should seek medical help immediately if you have any of these symptoms:

• Severe bleeding or no bleeding within 24 hours
• High fever (more than 38°)
• Severe cramping or abdominal pain
• Severe and persistent vomiting or diarrhoea.

Visit our side effects page for more information.

Do not take Misoclear if:

You should not take Misoclear for incomplete abortion if

• You have severe or persistent abdominal pain.
• You have an IUD in your womb.

Misoclear can be used up to 13 weeks since your last menstrual period. If your last menstrual period was more than 13 weeks ago, please consult a healthcare professional before using Misoclear for an incomplete abortion.

How to prevent further pregnancy

You can get pregnant again soon after an abortion, but contraception can help you avoid unwanted pregnancies. There are a number of contraceptive methods and which one is right for you will depend on your circumstances. You can read lots of information about short term, long term and permanent contraceptive methods on this website.
