Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Misoprostol (Brand name is Cytotec) is a powerful and XXXXXXX tablet which should not be taken without prescription from gynecologist after proper examination and confirming location of pregnancy to rule out ectopic. If you have taken the medication on your own, please visit a gynecologist immediately for examination.

COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome when using Misoprostol is diarrhea, stomach pain. The sensation of bloating what you are experiencing is part of gastrointestinal side effects of misoprostol.

You should seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur when using Misoprostol:

1) Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue)

2) Black, tarry stools; blood in the urine

3) Changes in hearing or deafness

4) Chest pain

6) Mood or mental changes (eg, anxiety, confusion, depression); persistent or severe vomiting or diarrhea; severe fatigue or fainting;

The cold you are feeling and bloating sensation are due to side effect of this drug. You need your temperature to be recorded and some medicines to be prescribed for this.

Hence please visit a gynecologist who will prescribe medicine.

Please accept my answer if no more queries.
