A Complete Guide to Searching Misoprostol on Synapse

Misoprostol is a small molecule drug that exerts its pharmacological effects through the activation of EP2 receptors in the body. This agonist drug binds to the EP2 receptors, leading to various effects, such as decreasing stomach acid secretion, promoting cervical ripening, and inducing labor. Misoprostol was approved for medical use in June 1984 and has been widely employed for several therapeutic purposes, including preventing and treating gastric ulcers associated with NSAIDs use, as well as in inducing labor or termination of pregnancy. Pfizer AS developed the drug, which is only available by prescription and considered a safe and effective medication. Despite its benefits, Misoprostol can cause potential side effects, including uterine contractions, gastrointestinal discomfort, and rare cases of uterine rupture. Therefore, Misoprostol should be used with caution and under medical supervision. Click on the image below to begin the exploration journey of Misoprostol through the Synapse database!
