cytotec
by: Natural Pregnancy Mentor - Florence

Cytotec also known under the trade name of Misoprostol - is approved by the FDA as a gastric ulcer medication.

However it is also a prostaglandin E1 analog. Prostaglandins are hormones which play a crucial role in labor. They cause powerful contractions in the uterine walls as well as cause the relaxation of the cervix. To put it simply, they can bring on labor.


So in early pregnancy, these changes can obvioulsy bring an abortion.

Women should be made aware that it is not uncommon that abortions caused by Cytotec do not evacuate all of the fetal material from the uterus. This is associated with bleeding and/or infection. This often means a D&C will be performed to complete the abortion. This is a medical emergency!
