Precautions

You must have 3 visits to your physicians office during the treatment procedure. It is extremely important that you attend all three visits.

Check with your physician if the vaginal bleeding becomes severe or seems to last longer than expected (i.e., soaking through two thick full-size sanitary pads per hour for two consecutive hours).

You may need to have a surgical procedure to stop excessive vaginal bleeding or to terminate a pregnancy that was not terminated with the medical treatment procedure.

You should check with your physician immediately if signs or symptoms of serious infection (i.e., continuing fever ≥ 100.4 °F, severe stomach pain, pelvic tenderness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or abnormally fast heartbeat) occur.
