Hello,
Misoprostol is slightly more effective when given vaginally than when taken by mouth. Usually, Misoprostol is given by mouth because of reports of a rare, fatal infection that affected a few women after using vaginal Misoprostol.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
