I was prescribed Cyctotec as an aid in the process of inserting an IUD (Intrauterine Device). Because I have never given birth, my doctor utilized this method as a way to dilate my cervix for insertion. This medication was not taken orally but rather inserted directly into the vagina. In terms of my satisfaction rating being 3/5, I attribute that to the less-than-pleasant feelings that were associated with the whole ordeal According to my GYN, the medication worked extremely well...although I beg to differ.

The medication worked, was easy to use, but i was not satisfied with the results. I used this medication vaginally because i had a miscarriage and my body was not able to deliver the baby. My doctor sent me home to use it and i did everything just as she said. She said all that would happen is the baby will dissolve and pass just like a period. SHE WAS WRONG! I had pain so bad i was screaming for help, thats because i was in labor! The baby wasz coming out not dissolved it was a baby with a sac around it! This was a very bad expierence for me and i cant believe she sent me home with this treatment to deliver a baby myself! i was rushed to the ER where i was told that this medicine was not approved for this use!

I'm 29 y.o. and took Cytotec to soften my cervix prior to IUD insertion. I took it the night before my procedure and had some very mild cramping through the night. It helped make the insertion painless! I'm so glad my NP prescribed this medication. Published: December 20, 2008 ::

I ended the pregnancy while living overseas. It was the best Published: January 01, 2008 ::

I miscarried at 10 weeks, and was given this drug vaginally, i followed the directions and it did not work AT ALL. a week later I was given this drug orally to try once more to pass the remaining tissue still left from the miscarriage... once again this drug DID NOT WORK! This is day 20 of the miscarriage. I imagine the next step will be a D&C. It does give you a mild upset stomach when taking orally but that was about it. Published: June 05, 2009 ::

My daughter was given cytotec to induce her labor and soften her cervix for birth. Both my daughter and her baby died. This should NOT be given to induce labor. Published: January 29, 2009 ::

Given to me to insert vaginally to dilate the cervix. Took it just one hour ago and am noticing cramps and a rise in body temperature. Published: July 02, 2008 ::

I was given the generic of this drug because I have problems tolerating NSAIDs used for arthritis. After taking the pills as directed for four days, I experienced a severe allergic reaction: burning in mouth and throat, vomiting, dry heaves, swollen throat and difficulty breathing. There was no indication in any of the patient literature that this kind of reaction was even possible. Needless to say, I will not take this drug again. Published: July 23, 2009 ::
