In horses, it is used off-label to prevent NSAID-induced hindgut issues such as colitis or hindgut ulcers. In addition, it can be used to treat gastric ulcers in the stomach’s glandular region.

Misoprostol is synthetic prostaglandin E1 analogue that acts as a cytoprotectant, protecting cells from damage. ^[9] This drug can reduce inflammation in the gut and help ease some of the associated discomforts.

It has been shown to reduce the secretion of gastric acid in the stomach of horses. ^[13] Excessive acidity contributes to the formation of ulcers by eroding cells that line the intestinal tract.

Misoprostol has also been shown to improve intestinal barrier function in the gut of horses on NSAID medications.  It helps to support the healing of the gastrointestinal mucosa following injury. ^[32]
