Misoprostol 200 mcg tablets are used mainly for medical abortion (terminating early pregnancy), preventing bleeding after delivery, and treating stomach ulcers. The medicine works by causing the uterus to contract and the cervix to open, helping to expel pregnancy tissue or reduce bleeding.

🩺 How Misoprostol is Used

• It is taken orally as prescribed by a doctor, usually with meals or before bedtime.
• It is effective for abortion within the first 70 days of pregnancy and can prevent heavy bleeding after childbirth.
• Common side effects include uterine cramps, nausea, diarrhea, and heavy bleeding, which usually improve over time.

⚠️ Important Precautions

• Do not stop the medication abruptly without medical advice to avoid incomplete abortion risks.
• Inform your doctor if there is any allergy, if you have taken oxytocin recently, or if you are breastfeeding.
• If bleeding is very heavy or does not stop, seek immediate medical attention.

🩺 Next Steps

• Follow the doctor’s exact instructions regarding dosage and timing.
• Contact a gynecologist or obstetrician for personalized advice and monitoring during treatment.
