I think 4 pills at a go,thus swallowing 2 and inserting 2 at night .
Misoprostol is licensed in the United States only for the prevention of gastric ulcers associated with the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; it carries a warning against its use during pregnancy. Still, the drug has been widely used off label for cervical ripening and labor induction.

If you need an abortion seek medical help.
