  1. Gastric Ulcer Prevention and Treatment: Misoprostol is commonly prescribed to prevent and treat gastric ulcers caused by long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin or ibuprofen. It works by increasing the production of protective mucus in the stomach lining and reducing the secretion of stomach acid, thereby helping to prevent ulcers from forming or worsening.

  2. Labor Induction: Misoprostol is used off-label for labor induction in pregnant women. It helps soften and dilate the cervix, leading to uterine contractions and initiation of labor. Misoprostol may be administered vaginally or orally under medical supervision to induce labor in cases where it is medically necessary to deliver the baby.

  3. Medical Abortion: Misoprostol is also used in combination with mifepristone or methotrexate for medical abortion (termination of pregnancy). It causes uterine contractions and expulsion of the uterine contents, resulting in the termination of the pregnancy. Medical abortion with misoprostol is typically performed within the first trimester of pregnancy and requires close medical supervision.

  4. Cervical Ripening: In addition to labor induction, misoprostol is used for cervical ripening (softening and dilation of the cervix) prior to certain gynecological procedures such as dilation and curettage (D&C), hysteroscopy, or placement of an intrauterine device (IUD). It helps facilitate the procedure by preparing the cervix for instrumentation.

  5. Side Effects: Common side effects of misoprostol may include abdominal cramping, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and fever. These side effects are usually mild and transient, but some individuals may experience more pronounced symptoms requiring medical attention. In the context of medical abortion, misoprostol may also cause heavy bleeding and passage of tissue.

  6. Contraindications: Misoprostol is contraindicated in pregnant women who are carrying a wanted pregnancy, as it can cause abortion. It should not be used by individuals with a history of uterine surgery or scar tissue, as it may increase the risk of uterine rupture. Misoprostol should also be used with caution in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease or inflammatory bowel disease.

  7. Efficacy: The efficacy of misoprostol for gastric ulcer prevention and labor induction varies depending on the individual patient and the specific clinical scenario. It may be more effective when used in combination with other medications or interventions, such as proton pump inhibitors for gastric ulcer prevention or oxytocin for labor induction.

  8. Off-label Use: Misoprostol is frequently used off-label for various indications, including cervical ripening, management of postpartum hemorrhage, treatment of incomplete abortion, and induction of abortion in cases of fetal demise or severe fetal anomalies. Off-label use should be guided by clinical evidence and professional guidelines.
