Misoprostol-induced urinary incontinence.
In a young woman with rheumatoid arthritis misoprostol induced urinary incontinence. The urodynamic study described here revealed a deficiency in urethral resistance which may explain the phenomenon. This side-effect may be more common than expected, and misoprostol should be administered with caution to patients suffering from urinary stress incontinence.
