I was on Cytotec therapy for a while and soon after I quit I experienced brown vaginal discharge. I am not sure is this a side effect of the Cytotec. I experienced only once brown vaginal discharge and that was when I had some bacterial infection in my reproductive system. Maybe is that again, but this drug worries me a lot.

The side effects that are common with Cytotec are diarrhea, when are the high doses prescribed, abdominal pain too, although some people experience headaches, menstrual cramps or nausea, unless you were using Cytotec rectally or orally to induce labors. Are you pregnant? If you are pregnant you should report brown vaginal discharge to your doctor.

Cytotec is a uterine stimulant actually, so yes it very well could be the cytotec which is causing the discharge.
