Step 1: Swallow the mifepristone pill with water. If you throw up in the first hour (60 minutes) after swallowing Mifepristone, it is likely that the pill will not work. Step 2: Wait 24-48 after swallowing Mifepristone. Step 3: Take 800 mg of Ibuprofen 1 hour before using misoprostol. We recommend this step to help decrease the pain you will feel from cramping. Ibuprofen works better if you take it before you start feeling pain, so do not wait until you feel pain to take it. Taking Ibuprofen will help you to feel more comfortable and will lesson the other side effects that Misoprostol can cause. Step 4: Place 4 misoprostol pills under your tongue (sublingual). It is very important that the pills remain under your tongue for 30 minutes. In these 30 minutes the pills will be absorbing into your system. After 30 minutes you may drink water to wash down what remains of the pills. If you vomit during the 30 minutes that the Misoprostol pills are under your tongue, it is likely they will not work. In this case, it is necessary to immediately repeat step 4. This is why we recommend you use anti-nausea medicine before using Misoprostol and/or you have extra Misoprostol pills. If you vomit after the pills have been under your tongue for 30 minutes, there is no need to repeat step 4 as the pills have already absorbed into your system.
