Cytotec (misoprostol) is contraindicated in patients with a known allergy to misoprostol or other prostaglandins. It should not be used in pregnant women when used for gastric ulcer prevention, as it can cause uterine contractions and miscarriage. Additionally, it is contraindicated in women with suspected or confirmed ectopic pregnancy when used for obstetric indications.
