ABSTRACT
Misoprostol (Cytotec) is a prostaglandin E1 analog used in prevention of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs induced gastric ulcer and has a uterotonic effect. It has been used to terminate pregnancy at any stage by promoting uterine contractions and for ripening the cervix before induced labor or abortion. Recently, it is known to reduce postpartum hemorrhage. Very little experience has been reported acute misoprostol toxicity in contrast with its usages. We have experienced a case of acute toxicity of misoprostol used for management of postpartum hemorrhage. We report this case with a review of literatures.
