Cytotec

Cytotec (misoprostol) can be recommended for people taking some medicines that can affect the lining of their stomach and cause ulcers. Make sure your health care provider knows that you are taking antacids, aspirin, arthritis medications, or vitamins to make sure your dose is adjusted if necessary. Some of the side effects that you may get when you start the treatment include vomiting, stomach pain, upset stomach, constipation, indigestion, headache, gas, and diarrhea. These are not too serious and bothersome to be reported to your health care provider. However, make sure you observe these side effects carefully and if they become worse and start to interfere with your every day life report them to the doctor immediately as you may require a dose adjustment or some other measures may be taken to make sure you are not getting any unpleasant symptoms. If you become pregnant stop taking Cytotec and talk to your doctor right away. This medicine causes uterine contractions, which can lead to premature labor. You can, however, use Cytotec if your health care provider prescribed it to induce labor. Cytotec is supposed to be taken only by people to whom it was prescribed, just like any other prescription medication. You are not supposed to exceed the dose recommended by your health care provider as otherwise you can have some of the overdose symptoms, including abdominal pain, slowed heartbeat, intestinal discomfort, breathing difficulty, fever, diarrhea, tremors, and convulsions.
