Indula 25 mcg Tablet contains Misoprostol, a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog. It is primarily used in obstetrics and gynecology for various indications, including:
Induction of Labor: Used for cervical ripening and labor induction in pregnant women at term with an unfavorable cervix.
Prevention and Treatment of Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH): Misoprostol is effective in preventing and treating excessive bleeding after childbirth by inducing uterine contractions, thereby reducing blood loss.
Medical Termination of Pregnancy: In combination with other medications like mifepristone, misoprostol is used for medical abortion in early pregnancy.
Prevention of NSAID-Induced Gastric Ulcers: Misoprostol protects the gastric lining by reducing acid secretion and increasing mucus production, thereby preventing ulcers in patients taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
