Cytotec is used as a name, manufactured by Pfizer. Cytotec primarily contains an active ingredient known as Misoprostol. When taken in accordance with a doctor’s advice, Misoprostol is used safely and effectively for the termination of pregnancy. Cytotec is banned in the city of Doha, Qatar; purchasing or distributing Misoprostol can lead to arrest. The misuse of Cytotec constitutes a serious crime, as Misoprostol acts like a weapon—it can be used to take the life of an unborn child without the use of any conventional weapon.
