Can a woman with incomplete abortion be treated with misoprostol even if she may have already taken misoprostol (to induce abortion)?
Yes. Some providers have expressed concerns about giving women misoprostol again if they have already taken it before presenting at the health facility. Misoprostol can be offered for treatment even if the drug was used to induce the abortion. Repeated misoprostol doses for treatment of incomplete abortion have been reported with no adverse effects. Numerous studies have shown that treatment with misoprostol works well for women who may have induced their abortions with misoprostol.
