HOW CYTOLOG 200MCG TABLET WORKS

CYTOLOG 200MCG TABLET reduces excessive stomach acid secretion caused due to prolonged NSAIDs use. This action heals the existing ulcers, manages new ulcers formation and provides relief from the unpleasant symptoms of GI tract (such as acidity and heartburn).

It also stimulates the contraction of uterine muscles which helps in initiating labour pain, reducing postpartum bleeding and for inducing abortion during the early stages of pregnancy. It also degrades the cells and tissues around the cervix, which helps in cervical ripening (softening) prior to uterine procedures.
