Hi,
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic.Congenital anomalies sometimes associated with fetal death have been reported subsequent to the unsuccessful use of Misoprostol as an abortifacient, but the drug's teratogenic mechanism has not been demonstrated. Several reports in the literature associate the use of Misoprostol during the first trimester of pregnancy with skull defects, cranial nerve palsies, facial malformations, and limb defects. YOU NEED TO INFORM YOUR DOCTOR REGARDING THIS.
Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please make sure that your ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit. Good luck!!
