Brief Answer:
It is Misoprostol...

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

I think you mean "Misoprostol". That is a synthetic prostaglandin, used orally to prevent ulcers in patients taking medications for arthritis (which might induce ulcer).

Misoprostol can be also used as a tablet or vaginally to induce bleeding, and abortion.

Let me know if you need further clarifications!
