Misoprostol: bans, restrictions and failed batches in India
Last checked 3 November 2026. Sources: CDSCO banned-drugs notifications and monthly NSQ alerts, Jan 2019 to Sep 2026
No combination containing Misoprostol is on India's banned-drugs list. 19 batches of medicines containing Misoprostol failed a government lab test between February 2019 and August 2026, from 16 manufacturers. A failed batch concerns that batch only, not the medicine or every brand.
On the banned-drugs list
Misoprostol on its own is not on CDSCO's banned list. The entries below are specific combinations that contain it. Status follows CDSCO's own notes on each entry.
No entry containing Misoprostol is on the list compiled from CDSCO's Section 26A notifications (1983 to 2026). That is not a statement that every product containing it is safe.
