Misofree Tablets

Product Overview

Misofree contains misoprostol, a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analogue. Misoprostol is commonly used for its gastroprotective properties, particularly in preventing and treating gastric ulcers associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use. Additionally, misoprostol induces uterine contractions, leading to its use in obstetrics and gynecology.

Indications

• Gastric Ulcer Prevention: Misofree is indicated for preventing NSAID-induced gastric ulcers in patients at high risk of complications.

• Medical Termination of Pregnancy: In combination with other medications, misoprostol is used for terminating early pregnancies.

• Labor Induction: Misoprostol can be employed to induce labor in certain medical situations.

• Treatment of Postpartum Hemorrhage: It is utilized to manage excessive bleeding after childbirth.

Dosage and Administration

• Gastric Ulcer Prevention: The typical dosage is 200 micrograms taken orally four times daily with food.

• Medical Termination of Pregnancy: Dosage and administration depend on the specific medical protocol and should be supervised by a qualified healthcare provider.

• Labor Induction and Postpartum Hemorrhage: Dosage varies based on clinical guidelines and patient-specific factors; administration should be managed by healthcare professionals.

Precautions

• Pregnancy: Misofree can cause uterine contractions leading to miscarriage; it is contraindicated in pregnant women when used for ulcer prevention.

• Allergic Reactions: Patients with known hypersensitivity to prostaglandins should avoid using misoprostol.

• Cardiovascular and Gastrointestinal Conditions: Use with caution in individuals with cardiovascular diseases or inflammatory bowel disease.
