Babies may sustain birth injuries as a result of uterine hyperstimulation, uterine rupture, placental abruption, maternal hemorrhaging, and other side effects of Cytotec use. Birth injuries resulting from the use of Cytotec as a labor-induction agent include:

• Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)/birth asphyxia
• Cerebral palsy (CP)
• Intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DDs)
• Seizure disorders
• Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL)

Cytotec misuse can cause serious and permanent injuries such as cerebral palsy and HIE. Children with these conditions often go on to require expensive lifelong care
