Misoprostol, a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analogue, exerts its antisecretory activity by directly acting on specific prostaglandin receptors found on the surface of gastric parietal cells. It exerts its protective effects on the mucosa by replacing the prostaglandins consumed during prostaglandin-inhibiting therapies e.g. NSAIDs.
Drug Interactions ::
May increase effects of oxytocin. Increased risk of misoprostol-induced diarrhoea with magnesium-containing antacids.
