Use and description
Misoprostol reduces stomach acid and helps protect the stomach lining from damage that can be caused by taking aspirin or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
Misoprostol is a synthetic prostaglandin that works by "replacing" prostaglandins whose production is blocked by aspirin or NSAIDs. It is used to prevent stomach ulcers from developing during treatment with aspirin or an NSAID. Examples of NSAIDs include ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), celecoxib, diclofenac, indomethacin, and meloxicam.
Misoprostol should not be used during pregnancy and if you are able to become pregnant, you will need to have a negative pregnancy test before starting this treatment.
Misoprostol was FDA approved in 1988.
