Prosotec 100mcg Tablet

Prosotec 100mcg Tablet is a tablet made by Atco Laboratories Ltd that contains Misoprostol 100mcg, a synthetic prostaglandin medicine. It is used for prevention of NSAID-induced stomach ulcers, stomach and duodenal ulcers, heavy bleeding after childbirth and other obstetric uses under medical supervision. Pack size: 10 tablets.

Uses of Prosotec 100mcg Tablet

Prosotec 100mcg Tablet is used to protect the stomach lining in people who need to take anti-inflammatory painkillers (NSAIDs) such as diclofenac or naproxen, and to help heal stomach and duodenal ulcers. In obstetrics and gynaecology it is used only under direct specialist supervision, for example to help prevent or control heavy bleeding after childbirth. It must never be used during pregnancy without a doctor’s direction.

How Prosotec 100mcg Tablet works

Misoprostol is a man-made version of prostaglandin E1, a natural substance that lowers stomach acid production and strengthens the protective mucus layer of the stomach. It also makes the muscle of the womb contract and softens the cervix, which is why its use in women is closely controlled.

Possible side effects

Prosotec 100mcg Tablet can cause stomach-related side effects, especially in the first few days. The more common ones include:

• Diarrhoea
• Stomach cramps or pain
• Nausea
• Wind and bloating
• Headache

Get urgent medical help for heavy vaginal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, fever, or signs of an allergic reaction such as swelling of the face or difficulty breathing.

Precautions and warnings

• Prosotec 100mcg Tablet can cause miscarriage and birth defects, so it must not be taken during pregnancy except under direct medical supervision.
• Women who could become pregnant should use reliable contraception while taking it for stomach protection.
• Taking it with food can help reduce diarrhoea, and antacids containing magnesium should be avoided as they can make diarrhoea worse.
• Tell your doctor if you have inflammatory bowel disease, heart or blood vessel disease, or any condition where dehydration could be dangerous.
