Misinformation about misoprostol and medication abortion in general has been increasing in the wake of the leaked draft of the U.S. Supreme Court opinion on Roe. v Wade, which upholds abortion rights in the U.S. One of the misinformation narratives being spread about misoprostol has been falsely comparing misoprostol to drug ivermectin. Ivermectin is a drug typically used as an anti-parasitic that has been tested as a treatment for COVID-19 and shown to be ineffective and, at high doses, dangerous. Some individuals, especially em linha, encouraged individuals to purchase ivermectin despite lacking evidence from veterinary sources, particularly large agricultural sources that treat big animals like horses.

Misoprostol works best for abortion within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Following that window of time, the risk of complications and need for medical intervention increases. We should also note that not all health bodies agree on the exact doses of misopristol for abortion and not all agree on the use of misopristol after 12 weeks of pregnancy. Some international health organizations suggest only taking up to two (instead of three) repeat doses of 800 μg of misoprostol for pregnancies of gestational age up to 12 weeks. And some international health bodies do not recommend misoprostol after 12-13 weeks because of studies that suggest decreased efficacy and an increased chance of complications, and recommend instead a different type of abortion depending on gestational age.

Misoprostol, a prostaglandin analogue, binds to myometrial cells to cause strong myometrial contractions leading to expulsion of tissue. This agent also causes cervical ripening with softening and dilation of the cervix. Misoprostol binds to and stimulates prostaglandin EP2 receptors, prostaglandin EP3 receptor and prostaglandin EP4 receptor but not prostaglandin EP1 receptor and therefore is expected to have a more restricted range of physiological and potentially toxic actions than prostaglandin E2 or other analogs which activate all four prostaglandin receptors.[66]

Misoprostol is also used to prevent and treat post-partum bleeding. Orally administered misoprostol was marginally less effective than oxytocin.[49] The use of rectally administered misoprostol is optimal in cases of bleeding; it was shown to be associated with lower rates of side effects compared to other routes. Rectally administered misoprostol was reported in a variety of case reports and randomised controlled trials.[50][51] However, it is inexpensive and thermostable (thus does not require refrigeration like oxytocin), making it a cost-effective and valuable drug to use in the developing world.
