Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Misoprostol dosages vary depending on the medical condition being treated. Typical dosages range from 200 mcg to 800 mcg, administered orally or vaginally. Specific administration methods will be discussed with your doctor. For instance, for medical abortion, the typical protocol involves using multiple doses administered at specific intervals.
Oral administration requires swallowing the tablet whole with a glass of water. Avoid chewing or crushing the tablet. Vaginal administration involves inserting the tablet deep into the vagina, usually with a finger. Maintain a supine position for a period after administration as directed by your healthcare provider.
Potential side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. These are commonly mild and temporary. However, serious side effects are possible, though rare. Report any unusual or concerning symptoms immediately to your physician.
Never exceed the prescribed dosage or frequency of administration. Always consult your doctor before adjusting your dosage or ceasing treatment. They will help you understand the risks and benefits based on your individual health status.
