About this active substance

Misoprostol is a medication used for the prevention and treatment of gastric ulcers induced by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as well as for labor induction or medical abortion. It is a prostaglandin E1 analog and works by protecting the gastric mucosa and stimulating uterine contractions.

The medication is administered orally, vaginally, or sublingually, depending on the indication. It is effective in reducing the risk of complications associated with gastric ulcers and managing complicated pregnancies.

Side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and, in rare cases, severe allergic reactions. Its use must be closely monitored, especially in the context of pregnancy.

Consult your doctor to discuss the benefits and risks of treatment with Misoprostol. Follow all medical recommendations to ensure the safe use of this medication.
