Using Misoclear for incomplete abortion

Misoclear contains misoprostol, and can be used as a non-surgical alternative for treatment of incomplete abortion.

It is a safe and non-invasive option that has shown to be 91% effective in clinical trials when used according to the dosing instructions. More than 9 in 10 women said they would choose misoprostol for treatment of incomplete abortion and post abortion care.

How does Misoclear work for incomplete abortion?

Misoclear misoprostol causes contractions of the womb and softening of the cervix (mouth of the womb) to expel the pregnancy. You can expect to experience some side effects after taking misoprostol, including mild to strong cramping and heavy bleeding.
