Cytotec tablets contain Misoprostol which is similar to a chemical substance called ‘prostaglandin’ which your body produces naturally. Prostaglandins are produced in the stomach and intestine and help to protect the lining. Cytotec belongs to a group of medicines known as ‘anti-ulcer agents’. The Cytotec tablets may help prevent you getting ulcers.
In your stomach or the part it empties into, called the duodenum. These ulcers could be caused by taking non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like diclofenac and naproxen. The way NSAIDs work means they reduce the amount of prostaglandins in your stomach and intestine. This can cause indigestion and lead to ulcers forming.
The Cytotec tablets will replace these prostaglandins and help to protect your stomach and intestine, so you can continue getting benefit from your NSAID. Cytotec also reduces acid and increases bicarbonate in your stomach secretions. Cytotec can also be used to heal existing ulcers.
Abortion pills are actually two different medicines to end a pregnancy( Mifepristone/Misoprostol). Mifepristone is not currently available. Since mifepristone is a registered abortion drug, its sale and use is not permitted in most countries whose laws restrict abortion. In contrast, Misoprostol is an anti-ulcer drug registered under various brand names in more than 85 countries. Research has reported that using misoprostol alone, to end unwanted pregnancy, has 85% success rate, when gestational age less than 9 weeks. Although misoprostol alone is less effective(85% sucess rate) than the combination (mifepristone/misoprostol), it is a safe and accessible alternative for women who have no other choice.
