Should Misoprostol Be Taken Orally Or Vaginally?
Brief Answer:
All brands can be used orally as well as vaginally
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us about it.
I can understand your concern.
Virtually all brands of mesoprostol can be used orally as well as vaginally for abortion.
But mesoprostol is more efficient when used by the vaginal route( almost 93% effective).
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.

will the effectiveness reduced if i do nit pkace the tablet right? this is my first time to use a vaginal tablet... thanks....
Brief Answer:
Yes, if tablets put on the enterance of vagina.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Nice to hear from you once again.
The drug effectiveness is decreased if you put the tablets in the enterance of vaginal opening.
For better absorption you have to put the drug as deep as possible in the vagina( near cervical opening in the uterus).
For better absorption wet the tablets before insertion.
Hope it is helpful.
