ACTIONS
AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
CYTOTEC (misoprostol dispersed in Hypromellose) is a synthetic
analogue of prostaglandin E
1
.
In animals and man, orally administered misoprostol has both gastric
antisecretory and mucosal
protective effects. Its antisecretory activity is mediated by
misoprostol acid binding to specific
prostaglandin receptors on gastric parietal cells. The mechanism of
the gastrointestinal mucosal
protective effect of CYTOTEC is not as well understood, but is thought
to involve the
replacement of prostaglandins following their depletion or inhibition
of production, the
increasing of mucus production, the increasing of bicarbonate
secretion in the duodenum,
increased mucosal blood flow, decreased vascular permeability,
increased cellular proliferation
and migration, and the restoration of the gastric potential
difference. Studies conducted in
