Misoprostol is indicated for the prevention of gastric ulcer associated with the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including aspirin, in patients at high risk of complications from gastric ulcer, such as the elderly, and in patients with concomitant disease or patients at high risk of developing gastric ulceration, such as those with a history of ulcer. /Included in US product labeling/

Misoprostol is contraindicated during pregnancy. Studies in humans have shown that misoprostol causes an increase in the frequency and intensity of uterine contractions. Misoprostol administration has also been associated with a higher incidence of uterine bleeding and expulsion of uterine contents. Miscarriages caused by misoprostol are likely to be incomplete, resulting in very serious medical complications, sometimes requiring hospitalization and surgery, and possibly causing infertility.

Patients of childbearing potential may use misoprostol if nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) therapy is required and patient is at high risk of complications from gastric ulcers associated with the use of NSAIDs, or is at high risk of developing gastric ulceration. Such patients must comply with effective contraceptive measures, must have had a negative serum pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to initiation of therapy and must start misoprostol therapy only on the second or third day of the next normal menstrual period.

It is unlikely that misoprostol is distributed into breast milk since it is rapidly metabolized throughout the body. however, it is not known if the active metabolite, misoprostol acid, is distributed into breast milk. Therefore, administration of misoprostol to nursing women is not recommended because of the potential distribution of misoprostol acid, which could cause significant diarrhea in the nursing infant.

Misoprostol generally is well tolerated. The frequency of adverse effects does not appear to be affected by patient age in adults. The most frequent adverse effects associated with misoprostol therapy involve the GI tract (e.g., diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain).

Misoprostol is indicated as a tablet to reduce the risk of NSAID induced gastric ulcers but not duodenal ulcers in high risk patients. Misoprostol is also formulated in combination with diclofenac to treat symptoms of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis in patients with a high risk of developing gastric ulcers. Misoprostol is used off label for the management of miscarriages, prevention of post partum hemorrhage, and is also used alone or in combination with mifepristone in other countries for first trimester abortions.
FDA Label
Induction of labour
Induction of labour
Misoprostol is a prostaglandin E1 analog used to reduce the risk of NSAID induced gastric ulcers by reducing secretion of gastric acid from parietal cells. Misoprostol is also used to manage miscarriages and used alone or in combination with mifepristone for first trimester abortions. An oral dose of misoprostol has an 8 minute onset of action and a duration of action of approximately 2 hours, a sublingual dose has an 11 minute onset of action and a duration of action of approximately 3 hours, a vaginal dose has a 20 minute onset of action and a duration of action of approximately 4 hours, and a rectal dose has a 100 minute onset of action and a duration of action of approximately 4 hours.
Oxytocics
Drugs that stimulate contraction of the myometrium. They are used to induce LABOR, OBSTETRIC at term, to prevent or control postpartum or postabortion hemorrhage, and to assess fetal status in high risk pregnancies. They may also be used alone or with other drugs to induce abortions (ABORTIFACIENTS). Oxytocics used clinically include the neurohypophyseal hormone OXYTOCIN and certain prostaglandins and ergot alkaloids. (From AMA Drug Evaluations, 1994, p1157) (See all compounds classified as Oxytocics.)
Abortifacient Agents, Nonsteroidal
Non-steroidal chemical compounds with abortifacient activity. (See all compounds classified as Abortifacient Agents, Nonsteroidal.)
Anti-Ulcer Agents
Various agents with different action mechanisms used to treat or ameliorate PEPTIC ULCER or irritation of the gastrointestinal tract. This has included ANTIBIOTICS to treat HELICOBACTER INFECTIONS; HISTAMINE H2 ANTAGONISTS to reduce GASTRIC ACID secretion; and ANTACIDS for symptomatic relief.

Absorption
For an 800g oral dose of misoprostol, the AUC was 2.01920.8032h\*ng/mL, the Cmax was 2.68301.2161ng/mL, and a tmax of 0.3450.186h. For a 800g sublingual dose of misoprostol, the AUC was 3.20941.0417h\*ng/mL, the Cmax was 2.43911.1567ng/mL, and a tmax of 0.7120.415h. For a 800g buccal dose of misoprostol, the AUC was 2.07260.3578h\*ng/mL, the Cmax was 1.36110.3436ng/mL, and a tmax of 1.3080.624h.
Route of Elimination
As much as 73.24.6% of a radiolabelled oral dose of misoprostol is recovered in the urine.
Volume of Distribution
Data regarding the volume of distribution of misoprostol is scarce. The apparent volume of distribution of the active metabolite of misoprostol was in subjects with normal renal function was 13.68.0L/kg, with mild renal impairment was 17.323.0L/kg, with moderate renal impairment was 14.36.8L/kg, and with end stage renal disease was 11.09.6L/kg.
Clearance
Because of the rapid de-esterification of misoprostol before or during absorption, it is usually undetectable in plasma. Misoprostol's active metabolite, misoprostol acid, has a total body clearance of 0.286L/kg/min. Subjects with mild renal impairment had a total body clearance of 0.2260.073L/kg/min, subjects with moderate renal impairment had a total body clearance of 0.2700.103L/kg/min, and subjects with end stage renal disease had a total body clearance of 0.1050.052L/kg/min.
Rapidly absorbed following oral administration.

Elimination: Renal (64 to 73% of the oral dose excreted within the first 24 hours). Fecal (15% of the oral dose).

Misoprostol is de-esterified to its active metabolite, misoprostol acid, also known as SC-30695. This metabolite is further reduced to dinor and tetranor metabolites (SC-41411), a prostaglandin F1 (PGF1) analog of SC-41411, and a -16-carboxylic acid derivative. However, the majority of these metabolites are not well described in the literature.
Rapidly de-esterified to misoprostol acid (primary biologically active metabolite). The de-esterified metabolite undergoes further metabolism by beta and omega oxidation, which can take place in various tissues in the body.

The half life of an 800g oral dose is 1.04010.5090h, for a sublingual dose is 0.85420.1170h, and for a buccal dose is 0.83650.1346h.

Misoprostol is a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog that stimulates prostaglandin E1 receptors on parietal cells in the stomach to reduce gastric acid secretion. Mucus and bicarbonate secretion are also increased along with thickening of the mucosal bilayer so the mucosa can generate new cells. Misoprostol binds to smooth muscle cells in the uterine lining to increase the strength and frequency of contractions as well as degrade collagen and reduce cervical tone.
Misoprostol enhances natural gastromucosal defense mechanisms and healing in acid-related disorders, probably by increasing production of gastric mucus and mucosal secretion of bicarbonate.
USP Convention. USPDI - Drug Information for the Health Care Professional. 16th ed. Volume I. Rockville, MD: U.S. Pharmaceutical Convention, Inc. 1996 (Plus updates)., p. 2085
Misoprostol inhibits basal and nocturnal gastric acid secretion by direct action on the parietal cells; also inhibits gastric acid secretion stimulated by food, histamine, and pentagastrin. It decreases pepsin secretion under basal, but not histamine stimulation. Misoprostol has no significant effect on fasting or postprandial gastrin or intrinsic factor output.
