Cytoheal 200 mcg contains Misoprostol, a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog. This medication is widely used in various medical scenarios including preventing and healing gastric ulcers, inducing labor, medical abortion, and controlling postpartum bleeding caused by inadequate uterine contractions.
Uses of Cytoheal Tablet
Cytoheal is used in several critical reproductive and gastrointestinal conditions:
Prevention and treatment of gastric ulcers (especially in patients taking NSAIDs)
Medical termination of pregnancy (usually in combination with mifepristone)
Induction of labor at the end of pregnancy
Management of postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony (poor contraction of the uterus)
Benefits of Cytoheal Tablet
Protects stomach lining: Prevents ulcers by increasing mucus production and reducing stomach acid.
Supports safe abortion: Softens the cervix and causes uterine contractions to safely expel pregnancy tissues in early pregnancy.
Helps initiate labor: Promotes uterine contractions to start or speed up labor in full-term pregnancies.
Reduces bleeding after delivery: Helps the uterus contract effectively, minimizing blood loss after childbirth.
Non-invasive alternative: Offers a medical solution instead of surgical procedures in specific reproductive health conditions.
Side Effects of Cytoheal Tablet
Most side effects are temporary and go away on their own, but you should consult your doctor if they become severe or persistent:
Abdominal cramps
Diarrhea
Nausea or vomiting
Fever or chills
Vaginal bleeding (especially when used for abortion or labor induction)
Headache
Dizziness
Uterine rupture (rare but serious; especially in later stages of pregnancy or previous cesarean deliveries)
How to Use Cytoheal Tablet
Always use Cytoheal exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Depending on the condition being treated, it can be taken orally, sublingually (under the tongue), buccally (in the cheek), or vaginally.
For abortion or labor induction, multiple doses may be required under medical supervision.
Do not self-administer for pregnancy-related use without professional guidance.
Drink plenty of fluids to reduce the risk of dehydration if you experience diarrhea.
Precautions and Warnings
Pregnancy: Do not use for ulcer prevention in pregnant women unless it is being used under medical supervision for labor induction or abortion.
Allergies: Inform your doctor if you are allergic to prostaglandins.
Previous C-sections or uterine surgery: Use with caution due to increased risk of uterine rupture.
Avoid use in inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis) without a doctor’s approval.
Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you’re currently taking.
