Misinformation about misoprostol and medication abortion in general has been increasing in the wake of the leaked draft of the U.S. Supreme Court opinion on Roe. v Wade, which upholds abortion rights in the U.S. One of the misinformation narratives being spread about misoprostol has been falsely comparing misoprostol to drug ivermectin. Ivermectin is a drug typically used as an anti-parasitic that has been tested as a treatment for COVID-19 and shown to be ineffective and, at high doses, dangerous. Some individuals, especially online, encouraged individuals to purchase ivermectin despite lacking evidence from veterinary sources, particularly large agricultural sources that treat big animals like horses.

Misoprostol is still frequently used around the world alone (i.e. not with mifeprex) for abortions and is the same ingredient as in pills used for treating and preventing ulcers, albeit under different trade names. The key component is the misoprostol itself which must be taken in much higher dosages when terminating pregnancies than when taken routinely for other purposes, including the treatment of ulcers. Misoprostol can be taken orally, vaginally, buccally (placing a drug between your gums and cheek to dissolve and absorb), or sublingually (placing a drug under your tongue to dissolve and absorb). Studies show that combining mifepristone and misoprostol typically have higher rates of successful abortion and satisfaction compared to taking misoprostol alone.
