Misoprostol Tablets IP 200 mcg are synthetic prostaglandin E₁ analogs primarily used in gynecology and gastroenterology. They are commonly prescribed for medical abortion (often with mifepristone), induction of labor, management of postpartum hemorrhage, and treatment of incomplete miscarriage. Misoprostol causes uterine contractions and softens the cervix, making it effective in reproductive procedures. It is also used to prevent NSAID-induced gastric ulcers by protecting the stomach lining.
