Cytotec Tablets 200Mcg (28’s) – Medication for Gastric Ulcers & Inducing Labor | Prevents Ulcer Formation & Helps with Misoprostol Therapy
Cytotec Tablets 200Mcg (28's) contain Misoprostol, a prostaglandin analog used to prevent gastric ulcers and induce labor. Misoprostol works by reducing stomach acid secretion, protecting the stomach lining, and promoting healing of ulcers caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is often prescribed for individuals who need protection against ulcer formation during long-term NSAID use.
In addition to its role in gastric ulcer prevention, Cytotec is also used in obstetrics for inducing labor and managing postpartum hemorrhage. It is an effective treatment for preventing or managing complications during childbirth.
