What is Cytotec used during pregnancy?
200 mcg or Misoprostol is used to induce miscarriage in women (not pregnant for more than 9 weeks) when used in combination with mifepristone.
How fast does Cytotec work?
It is recommended to take Cytotec 24-48 hours after taking mifepristone. It increases uterine contractions and causes the excretion of pregnant tissue in 4-6 hours.
However, the person will still experience mild cramps and bleeding for the next 24-48 hours.
The abortion process is completed within 3-4 days. It is recommended to follow up with your doctor after 2 weeks.
Is Cytotec safe to induce labor?
Yes! It is a safe and effective medicine for inducing labor in women. It causes cervical maturation (softens the cervix) and causes contraction. When taken correctly, it will ease the labor pains of women.
Will Misoprostol Affect Future Pregnancy?
This medicine does not affect future pregnancies and causes no complications. However, if an uterine infection occurs during an abortion, the risk of infertility or ectopic pregnancy is small.
This is why doctors prescribe medications to reduce the risk of infections that can occur during the process.
Why is misoprostol given after childbirth?

Does Misoprostol Work Without Mifepristone?
The combination of mifepristone and misoprostol is a very effective method of abortion with an efficacy rate of 93-98%.

Can Cytotec damage the uterus?
