Overview

Two Medicines, Different Roles — Pampanga Context

Misoprostol is a prostaglandin E1 analogue. In the Philippines, it is approved for reducing the risk of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers. Under licensed clinician supervision and facility protocols, it may be used in certain obstetric contexts.

Mifepristone is a progesterone receptor antagonist. In some health systems, it is paired with misoprostol under strict clinical programs. Always follow Philippine law and FDA guidance; access may be restricted and supervised.

Note: This page does not provide dosing instructions. Regimens must be determined by a licensed clinician following WHO/DOH/FDA guidance.

Misoprostol — Uses & Mechanism

  • Approved PH use: Reduce risk of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers in at-risk adults.
  • OB-GYN (clinician-supervised): Part of guideline-based options for postpartum hemorrhage or cervical ripening in accredited facilities.

Mechanism: Increases gastric mucosal protection; in the uterus, can stimulate contractions/soften the cervix—hence supervised OB-GYN roles.

Mifepristone — Role & Pairing

  • Mechanism: Progesterone receptor blockade.
  • Clinical pairing: In certain programs, combined with misoprostol for specific indications under strict oversight (rules vary).
