About Misoprostol

Misoprostol is a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analogue that is listed on the World Health Organisation's List of Essential Medicines for multiple critical indications. It was originally developed and marketed as Cytotec by Pfizer for the prevention of gastric ulcers in patients taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However, its ability to stimulate uterine contractions and soften the cervix has made it an invaluable medicine in obstetric and gynaecological care. In Nigeria, misoprostol's most important role is in the prevention and treatment of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) — excessive bleeding after childbirth — which remains one of the leading causes of maternal death in the country. Nigeria accounts for approximately 23% of all global maternal deaths, and haemorrhage is responsible for an estimated 25-30% of these deaths. Misoprostol is a life-saving medicine that, when used correctly and under appropriate medical guidance, has the potential to significantly reduce maternal mortality in Nigeria.
