What should you know about mifepristone and misoprostol online?

Mifepristone and misoprostol have separate actions, and a suitable plan depends on the diagnosis, pregnancy location and individual health history. A webpage may not identify an ectopic pregnancy, a bleeding risk or a condition needing urgent care. Product names and instructions can also vary between countries and formulations.

Misoprostol may be used in different clinical pathways, including miscarriage care and induction of labour. That does not make one online regimen suitable for every person. A qualified clinician can explain the intended medicine, timing, route, expected symptoms and follow-up.

Arrange a consultation with a licensed healthcare professional and provide your pregnancy details, symptoms, medical conditions, previous uterine procedures, allergies and current medicines. Check that the source provides clear identification and instructions, and do not take tablets whose packaging or contents are uncertain. Make a plan for urgent help before treatment begins.

For reliable background, read [Misoprostol](/materials/misoprostol/), [Medical Management of Miscarriage](/treatments/medical-gynaecology/medical-management-of-miscarriage/) and [Induction of Labour](/treatments/pregnancy-and-birth-care/induction-of-labour/).

Seek emergency care for severe or one-sided pain, fainting, marked weakness, heavy bleeding, breathing problems or fever with feeling very unwell. Contact a clinician promptly if pain is increasing, bleeding is not easing, you cannot follow the instructions, or you have no way to obtain the promised follow-up.

Ask how the diagnosis was confirmed, whether an examination is needed, how the medicine source is verified, what symptoms require emergency care and exactly how follow-up will be arranged.
