Cytoheal Tablet (Misoprostol) Used for Medical Abortion, Labor Induction, Postpartum Bleeding Control, and Prevent Gastric Ulcers
Cytoheal Tablet contains Misoprostol 200 mcg, a medication used for the medical management of early pregnancy termination, prevention of excessive bleeding after childbirth, cervical ripening, and prevention of NSAID-induced stomach ulcers. It works by stimulating uterine contractions and protecting the stomach lining. Cytoheal should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional, as the dosage and administration vary depending on the medical condition being treated.
