What is Cytotec?
Cytotec is a brand of Misoprostol, a medicine that causes the womb to contract and the cervix to soften. In medical abortion it is taken after Mifepristone to complete the process safely at home.
Is Cytotec alone enough?
Misoprostol-only regimens exist, but the Mifepristone + Misoprostol combination is more effective (over 95% up to 12 weeks). Lola Women's Clinic supplies both medicines in a medically reviewed kit.
How to use it safely
Always follow the dosage and timing given by your licensed provider. Never buy unlabelled tablets from unverified sellers — counterfeit pills are a serious risk in South Africa.
