More facts about Generic Cytotec (Misoprostol 200 mcg):

What is the medical product available under the name Cytotec?

The medication sold under the name Cytotec is based on the compound called Misoprostol. You may think why a compound that already has a name is sold under another name. The reason for that is the name of the compound is used to give an idea about the chemical formula of the drug while the name Cytotec is a trade name. The same compound can be sold under a variety of different names because it could be made by different pharmaceutical companies. They gain the priority to use the formula after the exclusive right of its developer expires. These drugs are together named generics although all of them have their own registered trade names.

Misoprostol, the active ingredient of the branded medication Cytotec and its analogs is an antiulcer, gastroprotective, stimulating labor and uterus toning agent. In the home use, it is not intended as a gynecological drug though it has such effects but mainly as a medication for the gastrointestinal tract.

How Cytotec (Misoprostol) acts?

The preparation has an antisecretory effect. It ties to the certain receptors of the stomach, inhibits the basic, stimulated and night secretion of gastric acid, promotes the production of bicarbonate and mucus, facilitates the blood flow, exerts the cell-protecting effect, and lowers the basal pepsin release. Besides, it improves the stability of the gastric mucosa and helps to avoid the development of erosive and ulcerative lesions, helps to heal the peptic ulcers. You can also buy Cytotec or its generics if you take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications as it lowers the risk of onset of duodenum and stomach ulcer as well as ulcer bleeding.

The effect of the medication starts to manifest in 30 minutes after the pill intake. In the dosage of 50 mcg, the effect is mild and short. In 200 mcg pill intake, it is more prolonged and more pronounced.

The preparation renders a mild inducing effect on the muscles of the digestive tract. It provokes the contraction of smooth muscles and muscle fibers myometrium and cervical dilatation. Due to these properties, it is used in gynecology but the medication must not be used in pregnant women as a digestive tract medication as it raises the tone of the uterus and can provoke a miscarriage.

When taken orally, the medication is quickly and completely absorbed. The simultaneous use with meal lowers the absorption and therefore the effect of the medication. Within the body, the medication transforms into an active form. 80% of the taken dosage is washed in urine and the rest is excreted in feces.

Can you purchase and use Generic Cytotec instead of the brand-name drug?

The generic drug differs from the branded one only by the price and name. The effect and all properties of the medication are unchanged. It is simply made by another pharmaceutical company that had to register a different name for their product even though it is still based on the same formula. The thing is that more and more people prefer generic over the branded medications because they are cheaper. And these people are right – there is no point of spending more money on the identical product. The generics are cheaper because of several reasons: their manufacturers didn’t discover the drug and they do not spend money on advertising. Other than that, the process of making the pills is the same as the branded medication maker follows.

Buy Generic Cytotec without any worries if the active agent of the medication is Misoprostol and the dosage per pill corresponds to your doctor’s recommendations, i.e. 50 mcg or 200 mcg. If you purchase the medication online for several months ahead, make sure to also check the expiry date asking the pharmacists to tell you the exact numbers.
