Misoprostol : Misoprostol (Cytotec) is a medicine prescribed for the treatment of the pain and inflammation of conditions such as arthritis, and for the prevention of stomach ulcers in patients treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Misoprostol helps to decrease your risk of serious ulcer complications such as bleeding. This medication protects your stomach lining by lowering the amount of acid that comes in contact with it. This medication is also used in combination with another drug (mifepristone) to end a pregnancy (abortion). This medication may also be used to assist with childbirth only at the time of delivery (e.g., cervical ripening, induction of labor) and for the treatment of severe bleeding after delivery. When misoprostol is used vaginally for these purposes, it works by causing the womb muscles to contract. Drug interactions : Your healthcare professionals (e.g., doctor or pharmacist) may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring you for it. Do not start, stop or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with them first. Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use. Keep a list of all your medications with you, and share the list with your doctor and pharmacist. Side effects : Common side effects include diarrhea and abdominal pain. Diarrhea is more common with higher doses and usually goes away with continued administration. Rarely, profound and persistent diarrhea necessitates stopping the drug. Less common side effects include headache, menstrual cramps, nausea, and flatulence. Consult your physician immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: menstrual problems or irregularities, unusual/heavy vaginal bleeding. Storage : Store at or below 25 degrees C in a dry place and keep away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medicines away from children and pets.
