HOW TO TAKE MISOPROSTOL: What is sublingual administration?

Sublingual = 4 misoprostol (200mcg) pills under the tongue

Sublingual administration of misoprostol means that you put 4 misoprostol pills (200mcg each) under the tongue.

You let the 4 pills dissolve for 20-30 minutes, after which, you swallow the remnants.

Under the tongue can cause sharp and intense cramping, which is good if the contents of your uterus aren't passing.

REMEMBER: vaginal misoprostol can be detected in the vagina for days after insertion. If you have concerns, use buccal or sublingual instead of vaginal.
