Misoprostol is a medicine used to prevent and treat stomach ulcers.

When using it, patients should strictly follow the doctor's recommendations and prescriptions and avoid adjusting the dosage or stopping use on their own. Possible side effects include abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, etc. If serious side effects occur, you should seek medical attention immediately. During pregnancy, you should strictly follow the doctor's instructions to avoid harm to the fetus. If you have any questions or discomfort, you should consult your doctor promptly.
