Anyone else taking Misoprostol (Cytotech)?
I was surprised by one thing during my phone conversation with gyn's nurse. She said I need to take misoprostol (aka cytotech) for 2 days prior to the surgery. I hadn't heard of that before. I asked if there were any side effects. She said some women report an upset stomach. I told her that I'm driving 2 hours Sunday morning to get home from a camp out. She said if I wanted to, I could wait until I'm home. Then, during my preop, my Family Practitioner was like, "ooohhh yes, don't take that when you have to drive, make sure you are home and comfy". Okay. Then my DH picked up the RX for me tonight and the pharmacist was like "she needs to be prepared for some pretty heavy cramping and bleeding". Great.
Anybody else have experience with this stuff?
