12 tablets of Pfizer Cytotec 200mcg
This is the Italian pack of Cytotec Pfizer. Many origins are usually available; any of those is fine
- Generic name is misoprostol 200mcg.
- Pay attention to the potency: it's micrograms (mcg), not milligrams (mg).
- They should not have any coating or core, and the binders used should be suitable for the sub-lingual route.
Misoprostol is available locally under many brands (Breeky, ST Mom, Arthrotect, etc).
They are not suitable for sub-lingual use, which is necessary for this procedure.
They cannot be used for this purpose!
