No, Pregclear does not cause infertility. Pregclear induced infertility has not been reported by the patients who are taking it. If you are considering for next future pregnancy, then you are advised to avoid pregnancy for at least one month or one menstrual cycle from the last dose of Pregclear.

Yes, Pregclear can terminate two weeks of pregnancy. In fact, it can terminate a pregnancy of 49 days (7 weeks) duration or less safe but sometimes there are chances that it might not fully terminate the pregnancy and some remaining tissues from the abortion are left in the womb in these cases. These remaining tissues are removed through a minor surgical procedure known as D&C (Dilation and curettage) procedure that involves dilatation of cervix and removal of the remaining tissue of the pregnancy from the lining of the womb through scraping (curettage).

The dosage of Pregclear may vary from case to case and type of condition in which the drug is being given. You are advised to take Pregclear as prescribed by your doctor. Ideally, it should be taken with the food to minimize the possibility of stomach irritation that can result in diarrhoea. Precautions must be taken in patients with known inflammatory bowel disease, improper kidney function, coronary artery disease, and hypertension.

Yes, Pregclear is used to prevent and treat NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) induced stomach ulcers. It works by inhibiting gastric acid secretion. NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins which leads to diminishing bicarbonate and mucus (phlegm) secretion which contributes to ulceration. Pregclear has mucosal protective properties that protect the stomach tissues from the damage caused by the stomach acid through decreased acid secretion and mucosal protective action.

Pregclear contains misoprostol which is a prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) analogue that possesses antisecretory property that inhibits gastric acid secretion. NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins which leads to diminishing bicarbonate and mucus secretion which contributes to ulceration. Pregclear has mucosal protective properties that protect the stomach tissues from the damage caused by the stomach acid through decreased acid secretion and mucosal protective action. It induces labour by causing relaxation of cervix uteri (which is the lower part of the uterus). In the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage Pregclear works by causing contractions of smooth muscle fibres of the myometrium (middle layer of the uterine wall).
