Hi,
I understand your concern.
Cytotec is used for healing gastric ulcers /it also causes uterine contractions, It along with other drug Mifepristone is used for abortion. So Cytotech is not used/used utmost care in pregnancy.
The bleeding you had must be due the contractions of uterus.The effect of medicine does not last beyond a couple of days, fortunately it has not affected development of baby.please don't worry.You should-
- Report about the bleeding to your treating doctor, avoid taking it again in pregnant period
_ Take some alternative medicine that suits you& dietary changes to control your symptoms of gastric ulcer( probably cytotec was given to you because of it)./ alternative management of pain.
thanks.
