What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Cytotec Overview
Cytotec is used to prevent stomach ulcers while you take NSAIDs (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen), especially if you are at risk for developing ulcers or have a history of ulcers. Misoprostol helps to decrease your risk of serious ulcer complications such as bleeding. Cytotec protects your stomach lining by lowering the amount of acid that comes in contact with it. Cytotec is also used in combination with another drug (mifepristone) to end a pregnancy (abortion).

Cytotec Warnings
Do not take Cytotec if you think that you may be pregnant. It may cause abortion, premature birth, or birth defects. In rare cases, serious complications (e.g., uterine rupture) have occurred when misoprostol was used to start labor or cause an abortion. These complications have resulted in harm to the unborn baby and mother. The risk for uterine rupture increases as your pregnancy advances and if you had prior uterine surgery (including Cesarean delivery) or if you had five or more previous pregnancies. Avoid pregnancy while taking misoprostol and for at least one month or one completed menstrual cycle after you have stopped treatment. If you become pregnant while taking misoprostol, contact your doctor right away. If you are pregnant, do not take Cytotec to reduce the risk of stomach ulcers due to aspirin or other related drugs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-NSAIDs such as ibuprofen). Also, if you are of childbearing age, do not use Cytotec to reduce the risk of ulcers from NSAIDs unless you are at high risk of having an ulcer or ulcer complications.1) test negative for pregnancy within two weeks before starting treatment; 2) use effective birth control to prevent pregnancy; 3) receive oral and written warnings on the dangers of using misoprostol while of childbearing age and the risks of possible birth control failure; 4) start taking misoprostol only on the second or third day of the next normal menstrual period. Cytotec must not be shared with others.

How to Use Cytotec
This medicine comes with a patient information leaflet. Read it carefully. If you have any questions about Cytotec, ask your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. Dosage of Cytotec is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. If you are taking Cytotec to prevent stomach ulcers, take it by mouth usually four times a day, after meals and at bedtime to minimize diarrhea, or as directed by your doctor. If you are taking Cytotec for abortion, take it by mouth exactly as directed by your doctor. If you are using Cytotec to start labor, your healthcare professional will insert it into your vagina. Avoid taking antacids that contain magnesium while using misoprostol because they may make the diarrhea it causes worse. If you need an antacid, consult your doctor or pharmacist to help you choose a product. For ulcer prevention, continue to take Cytotec for as long as you take NSAIDs. Use Cytotec regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use Cytotec at the same times each day. Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.

It is very important for you to be closely monitored by your doctor and to keep your scheduled appointments to follow your progress. Be sure to have clear instructions from your doctor about who to call and what to do in case of an emergency. Expect vaginal bleeding after you take the combined medicine, however tell your doctor right away if you develop any unlikely symptoms such as severe/prolonged vaginal bleeding, signs of infection (including fever, chills), or fainting. Cytotec must not be used during pregnancy to prevent stomach ulcers because of possible harm to an unborn baby (see also Warnings).

Cytotec Side Effects
What are Cytotec side effects?
Side effects are physical, mental or emotional symptoms which occur in addition to or outside of the desired effect of a therapeutic treatment such as an over-the-counter or prescribed drug or medication.

Side effects, also known as adverse effects, are generally more likely to occur when starting treatment. Individuals may also experience side effects from Cytotec as a result of an interaction with other medications.
Side Effects of Cytotec
The side effects of Cytotec may vary in number and intensity for many different reasons. Factors such as age, weight, gender and ethnicity may influence the side effects of Cytotec. Also, an individual’s state of general physical health and seriousness of the disease or illness as well as an increase or decrease in dosage may lead to side effects. Further, side effects from Cytotec may also occur as a result of an interaction with certain herbal supplements, foods or drinks.
Prescription drug side effects can be serious and may cause patients to stop the treatment. However, when side effects from the use of a prescription drug, such as Cytotec, do occur a patient should consult their physician. A physician may prescribe an additional treatment in order to control the symptoms or an adjustment in the dosage may be made. In addition, changes to diet, exercise or other lifestyle activities may help to lessen the side effects of Cytotec.
