Misoprostol Tablets

Patient summary
Misoprostol tablets, a prostaglandin E1 analogue, protect the stomach lining against ulcers caused by NSAID painkillers. They also make the womb contract, so doctors use them to complete an early miscarriage and, usually after mifepristone, for medical termination of pregnancy.
Mechanism of action
Misoprostol is a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analogue. It replaces protective prostaglandins in the stomach, reducing acid secretion and increasing mucous production. In obstetric use, it acts on the cervix and uterus to cause contraction and softening.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Causes contractions and can end a pregnancy, so never take it in a pregnancy that is to continue. Breastfeeding: Avoid.
Misoprostol is a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analogue, here as generic 100mcg and 200mcg tablets, the same ingredient as Pfizer’s Cytotec. It protects the stomach lining and is used for gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer and to prevent ulcers caused by NSAID painkillers. Because it makes the womb contract, doctors also use it to complete an early miscarriage and, usually after mifepristone, for medical termination of pregnancy. Never take it in a pregnancy that is to continue.
Misoprostol in pregnancy care
Both uses need a scan first: it confirms the pregnancy is in the womb, because misoprostol does not treat an ectopic pregnancy, and shows how far along it is. It is not suitable with an IUD in place, a bleeding disorder, severe asthma, adrenal problems, or steroid or blood-thinning medicines. Expect cramps and bleeding heavier than a period. More than two soaked pads an hour, or a fever over 38°C, needs emergency care, and a follow-up test confirms the pregnancy has fully passed.
