How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (misoprostol). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Misoprostol is extensively absorbed, and undergoes rapid de-esterification to its free acid, which is responsible for its clinical activity and, unlike the parent compound, is detectable in plasma.

The alpha side chain undergoes beta oxidation and the beta side chain undergoes omega oxidation followed by reduction of the ketone to give prostaglandin F analogs.

Half-life20–40 min
Mostly cleared after≈ 2.5 hfive half-lives — our arithmetic
With food

Maximum plasma concentrations of misoprostol acid are diminished when the dose is taken with food and total availability of misoprostol acid is reduced by use of concomitant antacid.
