Question: is pitocin the same as cytotec?
Answer: Overall, the two most popular labor changing drugs are Cytotec and Pitocin. Cytotec, also known as Misoprostol, is a drug administered in pill form that is used to treat gastric ulcers. Doctors currently rely upon it (despite the lack of FDA approval for this use) to ripen the cervix and promote the induction of labor.
