OBGYN, Maternal and Fetal Medicine 's  Response
Hi, I have gone through your question. Cytotec is misoprostol and it causes development anomalies in the fetus like facial nerve paralysis, limb reduction defects, hydrocephalus, Mobius syndrome etc. Since you have taken many tablets of misoprostol, there are high chances of anomalies in your fetus.
Misoprostol will not cause any adverse effect on you, but do get your liver function test done as youhave consumed larger dose and sometimes, it can effect the liver.
I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist so that you can terminate the pregnancy by appropriate method.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
