route. Misoprostol is found to be effective for inducing abortion and labour.
 Misoprostol has been widely recommended to prevent postpartum haemorrhage when other
methods are not available even though the side effects can be life-threatening. A significant
reduction in postpartum haemorrhage and other complications was obtained with misoprostol
600 µg orally. WHO has developed guidelines regarding the use of either oxytocin, 10 IU
administered parenterally, or misoprostol, 600 µg administered orally.
