What is Misoprostol?
Misoprostol — best known under the brand name Cytotec — is one of the two medicines used for medical abortion worldwide. It causes the uterus to contract and empty. It is on the World Health Organization's list of essential medicines and has been used safely by millions of women.
Why we always pair it with Mifepristone
Misoprostol on its own is about 80–85% effective. Taken 24–48 hours after Mifepristone, effectiveness rises above 95% — which is why every pack we dispatch contains both medicines, with clear instructions and a provider to talk to.
- Day 1: one Mifepristone tablet (200 mg) stops the pregnancy developing.
- 24–48 hours later: four Misoprostol tablets (200 mcg each) under the tongue or in the cheek.
- Cramping and bleeding usually begin within 1–4 hours — see what to expect.
