Excessive bleeding after childbirth, also known as postpartum haemorrhage, is the leading cause of maternal deaths globally. For the prevention of postpartum haemorrhage, misoprostol is a WHO recognised alternative to oxytocin. For the management of postpartum haemorrhage, misoprostol is used in combination with oxytocin as part of a broader treatment approach.

Misoclear misoprostol works by causing uterine (womb) contractions after delivery, which helps to prevent and control excessive bleeding after childbirth. After taking, there may be some side effects including mild to strong cramping and expulsion of the placenta.
Take a look at our step-by-step guide to learn how to administer Misoclear safely.
For prevention of PPH, Misoclear can be used within one minute after the delivery of all babies and before the placenta is delivered. 3 tablets (600mcg) should be administered buccally or orally.
When treating postpartum haemorrhage, Misoclear should only be administered by a healthcare professional. Usual dose is 4 tablets (800mcg) administered buccally, sublingual or orally. We have clear instructions for how to use Misoclear on this website.

Misoclear is an effective and safe treatment for early medical abortion and is up to 83%-94%effective in terminating early pregnancy (up to 9-12 weeks) ending on gestational age and adequate use and should only be used after consultation with a healthcare professional. If you would like to learn more about how Misoclear works for medical abortion, please check this link.
Medical abortion is most effective when used early in the pregnancy (up to 9 weeks) and the process often resembles an early miscarriage.
Misoclear misoprostol works by causing contractions of the womb and softening the cervix (mouth of the womb) to expel the pregnancy. You can expect to experience some side effects after taking misoprostol, including mild to strong cramping, heavy bleeding, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and mild fever.
Take a look at our step-by-step guide to learn how to use Misoclear safely.
Misoclear can be used as early as 4 weeks and up to 9 – 12 weeks from your last menstrual period. After consultation with a healthcare professional, medical abortion can be done at home in private, at a time convenient to you.
For medical abortion, you can either take Misoclear sublingually (under the tongue), vaginally or buccally. The misoprostol will be just as effective if you put them under the tongue, in the cheek or in the vagina, although the pills dissolve faster under the tongue and can be viewed as being more private.
Sublingually (under the tongue)
Place 4 tablets under the tongue and allow to dissolve for 30 minutes. Swallow what is left in your mouth with water. Wait 3 hours.
Additional doses of 4 tablets can be used in 3-hour intervals until expulsion of products of conception up to a maximum of 3 times.
OR
Vaginally
Insert 4 tablets into the deepest part of the vagina and lie down for 30 minutes.
Additional doses of 4 tablets can be used in 3-hour intervals until expulsion of products of conception up to a maximum of 3 times. Look at our step-by-step guide to learn more about how to take Misoclear for medical abortion, and what to expect afterwards.

Misoclear (misoprostol) can generally be used safely alongside many commonly used medicines. Clinical studies have not identified any significant interactions between misoprostol and most pain-relief medicines, including ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxen, diclofenac, piroxicam and indomethacin. Some antacids may affect how well Misoclear works. In particular, antacids containing magnesium may increase the likelihood of diarrhoea or stomach discomfort.
If you are taking any medicines regularly, or have concerns about possible interactions, speak to your healthcare provider before using Misoclear.
The side effects of misoprostol when it is used for medical abortion are usually an extension of its pharmacological action. It’s normal to see large blood clots (up to the size of a lemon) or clumps of tissue when this is happening. It is like having a really heavy, crampy period, and the process is very similar to an early miscarriage. You might have chills, feel sick or experience vomiting or diarrhea. The incidence of diarrhea can be minimised if Misoclear is taken with a meal or at bedtime and by avoiding taking concomitant antacids containing magnesium. Once the pregnancy passes, the amount of bleeding should noticeably reduce. You can read more about side effects here.
