Product Information
General Information:
AdvaCare is a GMP manufacturer of Misoprostol tablets.
Misoprostol is a prostaglandin analog. It treats and prevents stomach ulcers and peptic ulcers. Misoprostol tablets work by mimicking the action of natural gut-protective prostaglandins.
Prostaglandins are natural chemicals found all over the body. Misoprostol acts on the same receptors as the natural prostaglandin. Misoprostol actions protect the lining of the stomach. Misoprostol also stimulates the production of protective mucus which coats
the intestinal and stomach linings.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) drugs can reduce the production of the protective prostaglandin, with this effect; the potential to damage the stomach lining is increased by this side effect of NSAIDs.
Misoprostol tablets prevent this damage and also allow ulcers in these areas to heal. Misoprostol is excreted via the renal pathway, this accounts for 75% of its total elimination and 15% of the oral dose is eliminated via the feces.
Side Effects:
As with all pharmaceutical medicines, some unwanted effects can occur from the use of misoprostol tablets. Always consult a physician for medical advice before use.
Common side effects may include rash, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, gut disturbances, heavy and painful menstrual bleeding, fever and incomplete abortion. More serious side effects may include incomplete abortion, retained placenta, abnormal contractions of the womb, perforation of uterus and spotting between periods.
For a comprehensive list of all possible effects, consult your doctor. If any symptom persists or gets worse, or you notice any other symptoms, then please call your doctor immediately.
