Misoprost-200 Tablet is used in medical abortion and post-delivery bleeding. It is also used to treat gastric ulcers. It contains Misoprostol, which increases the womb's (uterus) contraction and dilates the cervix, thereby expelling the pregnancy. Thus, it can cause termination of pregnancy. It can also prevent post-delivery bleeding due to poor contraction of the uterus. You may experience menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding), nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, uterine contractions, and stomach cramps. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

Misoprostol is a prescription medicine used in medical abortion, but it should never be taken on your own without medical supervision, even in early pregnancy, such as 3 to 4 weeks. The correct dosage, timing, and whether it should be used alone or with another medicine, as well as its suitability for you, depend on a doctor’s evaluation and confirmation of pregnancy location and duration. Improper use can lead to incomplete abortion, heavy bleeding, infection, or other complications. It is important to consult a qualified doctor or visit a registered clinic, where safe and legal medical abortion care can be provided according to guidelines.
