MISOPROST 600MCG TABLET

MISOPROST 600MCG 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.

Side effects of Misoprost 600mcg Tablet
Here are the precise steps to cope with diarrhoea caused by medication usage:
  • Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to replace lost water and electrolytes. Choose water, clear broth, and electrolyte-rich drinks. Avoid carbonated or caffeinated beverages to effectively rehydrate your body.
  • Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
  • Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).
  • Practice Good Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. To stay healthy, wash your hands frequently, clean and disinfect surfaces regularly, and avoid exchanging personal belongings with others.
  • Take Anti-Diarrheal Medications: If your doctor advises, anti-diarrheal medications such as loperamide might help manage diarrhoea symptoms. Always follow your doctor's directions.
  • Keep track of your diarrhoea symptoms. If they don't get better or worse or are accompanied by severe stomach pain, blood, or dehydration signs (like extreme thirst or dark urine), seek medical help.
  • Drink water or other clear fluids.
  • To prevent worsening of pain, limit intake of tea, coffee, or alcohol.
  • Include bland foods like rice, toast, crackers, and rice in your diet.
  • Avoid lying down immediately after eating as it may cause indigestion or heartburn.
  • Avoid acidic and spicy food as it may cause indigestion.
  • Vaginal bleeding can be abnormal if it is not related to menstruation, and needs immediate attention and cannot be ignored.
  • Get a physical examination and follow your doctor's instructions to get relief from bleeding.
  • Avoid using vaginal sprays or perfumed soaps that increase itching and irritation.
  • Prefer practicing yoga and meditation to reduce stress and anxiety, as it can worsen vaginal bleeding.
  • Take a balanced diet and manage your weight.
  • Drink plenty of fluids and stay hydrated.
  • Avoid foods containing sugars, salts and processed food.

Health Queries

I am 4-5 weeks pregnant and have decided to proceed with a medical abortion. My doctor prescribed an abortion kit, instructing me to take 1 pill first, followed by 4 pills 48 hours later. Is this a safe method for terminating my pregnancy?

Hello! For an early pregnancy, doctors may prescribe medicines such as Mifepristone followed by Misoprostol as part of a standard medical abortion process. Cramping and bleeding heavier than a normal period are common after taking the medicines and usually mean the treatment is working. Follow your doctor?s instructions carefully and do not change the dose on your own. Seek urgent medical care if you have very heavy bleeding, severe pain, fever, fainting, or worsening symptoms. A follow-up check-up is important to confirm the process is complete and recovery is normal.
