Cytotec (Misoprostol) UAE is a prostaglandin that is commonly used to protect the stomachs of people who need to take daily doses of anti-inflammatory medication. For use in abortion, Cytotec in UAE is used to help keep the uterus contracted.
After the pregnancy is removed, the uterus must contract in order to prevent vessels that supplied the pregnancy from bleeding. It is taken three (3) times per day for three (3) days. After care instructions, other possible side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dizziness, fever, and/or hot flashes.

Naprosyn is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID). This drug is used to treat pain and inflammation.
UAE Medications/Prescriptions
You will be given prescriptions after the treatment. They are to help your uterus return to its normal size and to prevent an infection. During the procedure, you also may have been given an injection in your thigh to help your uterus return to normal. It is important that you fill your prescription(s) when you leave the clinic and take the medications as directed by the Discharge Nurse or the Hotline Coordinator.
You may experience some of the following conditions:
Bleeding You may have no bleeding, some spotting or staining, or menstrual-like bleeding on and off for up to 3-4 weeks. It is not unusual to have little or no bleeding in the first few days and then to have heavier bleeding once you become more active. If you have bleeding that fully soaks through one maxi-sized pad in one hour or less – lie down with your feet up and call us.
Cramping If you experience cramping, take Ibuprofen 200mg tabs (if you are not allergic), 2 to 3 tablets every 6 hours as needed. You can buy Ibuprofen without a prescription. If you are allergic you may use Extra-Strength Tylenol. Do not take aspirin. You can also use a hot water bottle or heating pad on your stomach for 20 minutes every 2 hours to help relieve your discomfort. You may also be given a prescription for Naprosyn.
Fever Take your temperature twice a day for the next 2 days. Call us if your temperature is greater than 100.4 degrees for more than 8 hours. Taking your temperature orally within 30 minutes of eating, drinking, smoking, or brushing your teeth will give you a false reading.
Breast Discomfort Some women get painful, swollen, hard or leaking breasts after the treatment. This is normal. It takes about 2 weeks for this to subside. Do not overly manipulate your breasts as this can increase milk production and cause more discomfort. Place an ice pack in a wash cloth, or small towel, and place it on your breasts for 20 minutes every 2 hours to help relieve the discomfort. It will also help to wear a sports bra.
You may also use Ibuprofen, Extra-Strength Tylenol, or Naprosyn as discussed above for breast discomfort.
Sadness Some women feel sad or blue after their treatment. This is normal and is due, to changes in your body’s hormone levels. It usually goes away in a few weeks. If you continue to feel sad, please call us so that we can arrange counseling.
You can go back to your regular daily activities after your procedure, but do not put anything into your vagina until you have had your follow-up exam. This means no vaginal intercourse, no tampax or tampons (use only pads), no tub baths or swimming (take showers), and no douching.
Menstruation
Your first period should begin in 4-8 weeks. It may be heavier than usual, with more cramping and possibly clotting. This is normal. Call us if you do not get your period within 12 weeks.
After care instructions, It is possible to get pregnant before your next period, since ovulation, the time when you can get pregnant, occurs before your period. Remember to use a reliable method of birth control and to wait until after your follow-up exam (at least 2 weeks after your procedure) before having intercourse.
