Frequently asked Questions about Mistol

Question about 4 years ago

Is Mistol used for ulcer?

Dr. Chinmaya Bal MBBS , General Physician

Yes, Mistol is used to prevent and treat NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) induced stomach ulcers. It works by inhibiting gastric acid secretion. NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins which leads to diminishing bicarbonate and mucus (phlegm) secretion which contributes to ulceration. Mistol has mucosal protective properties that protect the stomach tissues from the damage caused by the stomach acid through decreased acid secretion and mucosal protective action.

How does Mistol work?

Dr. Suhas Bhargav MBBS , General Physician

Mistol contains misoprostol which is a prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) analogue that possesses antisecretory property that inhibits gastric acid secretion. NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins which leads to diminishing bicarbonate and mucus secretion which contributes to ulceration. Mistol has mucosal protective properties that protect the stomach tissues from the damage caused by the stomach acid through decreased acid secretion and mucosal protective action. It induces labour by causing relaxation of cervix uteri (which is the lower part of the uterus). In the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage Mistol works by causing contractions of smooth muscle fibres of the myometrium (middle layer of the uterine wall).
