At what stage of pregnancy can misoprostol be used?

Misoprostol alone is typically used up to 12 weeks (first trimester) of pregnancy. When combined with mifepristone, it is most effective within the first 9–10 weeks (up to 70 days) of pregnancy. Effectiveness decreases with advancing gestational age, so earlier use is always better and safer. This is a general information. Not medical advice . Always Consult your doctor as to give specialized advice. A doctor prescription is needed before dispensing.
