📋Overview
Misoprostol is a medication that mimics the effects of prostaglandins, substances naturally found in the body. It is commonly associated with conditions involving the stomach and uterus, such as preventing stomach ulcers and managing certain reproductive health situations. Misoprostol can cause the uterus to contract, which is why it is also linked to gynecological and obstetric uses. Its effects on the digestive and reproductive systems make it relevant in a variety of medical contexts.
