Pharmacological action of Misoprostol
The synthetic derivative of the lipid mediator PGE-1 has a wide range of physiological effects. Misoprostol stimulates the contraction of the myometrium, increases uterine tone, and facilitates the opening of the cervix and evacuation of the contents of the uterus. Induces labor and reduces the risk of cesarean section with weak delivery.
Acting on the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract increases blood flow and regulates the secretory activity of the glands of the gastric mucosa. In large doses, it increases the production of gastric mucus and bicarbonate production, neutralizing hydrochloric acid’s effect.
Pharmacokinetics
When administered orally, the drug is completely absorbed into the blood after 1.5 hours. Reaches the maximum concentration after a single dose of 200 mg in 10-15 minutes. Binds to plasma proteins by 85%. The liver transforms it into an active metabolite, misoprostol acid. The half-life is 20-40 minutes. It is excreted from the body with urine (80%) and bile (approx. 15%). With repeated use, it does not accumulate and does not cause adverse effects.
Indications for the use of Misoprostol
- Induction of labor during full-term pregnancy;
- Medical abortion (up to 10-11 weeks);
- Comprehensive treatment, prevention of erosive gastroduodenitis, peptic stomach ulcer, and 12p. The intestine is caused by taking NSAIDs.
