ST Mom Tablet 200mcg

Uses of ST Mom Tablet

ST Mom Tablet 200mcg is a versatile medicine containing Misoprostol. It is widely used in gastroenterology to prevent stomach ulcers and in gynecology for inducing labor, managing miscarriages, and termination of early pregnancy under medical supervision.

Prevention of Stomach Ulcers

Helps prevent ulcers caused by long-term use of painkillers like NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen). Misoprostol increases natural protective secretions in the stomach lining, lowering the risk of bleeding or perforation.

Induction of Labor

Medical Termination of Pregnancy

Used in combination with other medicines to terminate early pregnancies. Misoprostol causes contractions that empty the uterus safely under medical guidance.

Management of Miscarriage

Helps complete a miscarriage by ensuring all pregnancy tissue is expelled, preventing infections and complications.
