Today we'll learn all about Cytotec (misoprostol) directly for the drug insert. You will learn about how it relates to things like uterine rupture and other catastrophic outcomes.

- Indications for the use of Cytotec
- The risks of using Cytotec
- How to decide if you should consent to Cytotec being used in your pregnancy
