How Cytotec 200 mcg (Misoprostol) Works

Cytotec 200 mcg or Misoprostol is a synthetic prostaglandin that reduces the risk of stomach ulcers in patients getting treated with NSAIDs. It works by lowering the amount of acid produced in the stomach, thereby protecting the lining of the stomach. Prostaglandins are basically chemicals that are made within the organs of the body. This medicine causes an abortion when taken with Mifepristone by increasing the number of contractions and expelling out the pregnancy tissues.

Consult your doctor for appropriate dosage of the drug as per your condition.

Cytotec 200 mcg is prescribed for the treatment of the following conditions:

1. Duodenal ulcer – a type of ulcer that occurs in the lining in the part of the small intestine.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Cytotec used for in pregnancy?

Ans. Cytotec 200 mcg or Misoprostol is used to bring about an abortion in women (who are no more than 9 weeks pregnant) when used in combination with Mifepristone.

How quickly does Cytotec work?

Ans. Cytotec is recommended to be taken 24-48 hours after the consumption of Mifepristone. It increases the uterine contractions and causes the pregnancy tissues to expel out within 4-6 hours. However, the person still experiences mild cramping and bleeding for the next 24-48 hours. The abortion process gets completed within 3-4 days. It is advised to follow up with the doctor after 2 weeks.

Is Cytotec safe for inducing labor?

Ans. Yes! This is a safe and effective medicine for inducing labor in women. It causes cervical ripening (softens the cervix) and produces contractions. It makes labor easier for women when taken correctly.

Will Misoprostol affect future pregnancies?

Ans. This medicine does not affect future pregnancies or cause any complications. However, if a womb infection develops during the process of abortion, there’s a small risk of infertility or an ectopic pregnancy. This is why doctors prescribe medication to reduce the risk of infections that can occur during the process.

Why Misoprostol is given after delivery?

Ans. This medicine is given after delivery to treat postpartum hemorrhage. It increases the uterine tone and decreases postpartum bleeding.

Why Misoprostol is contraindicated in pregnancy?

Ans. Misoprostol is contraindicated during pregnancy to reduce the risk of stomach ulcers that are associated with NSAIDs. It causes reproductive risk, including uterine contractions and miscarriage if taken during pregnancy.

Why is Cytotec put under the tongue?

Ans. When taken sublingually (or placed under the tongue), cervical ripening is found to be more effective than oral and vaginal administration routes. Cervical ripening or softening of the cervix is important for cervical dilation and the passage of the fetus.

Will Misoprostol work without Mifepristone?

Ans. The combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol is a highly effective method for first-trimester abortion with an efficacy rate of 93-98%. However, Misoprostol, when used alone, can be effective in some cases but it hasn’t been approved for the medical termination of pregnancy due to its low efficacy rates. If you find trouble getting Mifepristone, you can purchase it easily from our website.

Can Cytotec damage the womb?

Ans. This medicine can cause a uterine rupture during pregnancy. If your pregnancy has advanced to a later stage, the risk of uterine rupture increases. Furthermore, if you have had a Cesarean delivery (or surgery has been performed on the uterus), there’s a risk of uterine rupture that can result in severe bleeding, hysterectomy, and fetal death.

Can Cytotec be taken at night?

Ans. You should not take Cytotec at night as cramping and bleeding start within a few hours of administering the tablets. You may experience heavy bleeding (along with blood clots) for a period of 4-6 hours.

What do Cytotec pills look like?

Ans. These pills are hexagonal or round-shaped and are white in color.

Where can I buy Misoprostol online?
