CPS London chief prosecutor Baljit Ubhey said: "We have determined that there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and that a prosecution is in the public interest."
The CPS said no further action will be taken against a pharmacist who was also connected with the newspaper investigation because the CPS said it "determined that there was insufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction".
Ms Ubhey said: "May I remind all concerned that Dr Ridha has a right to a fair trial.
"It is very important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings. For these reasons, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further."
According to the NHS website, misoprostol is a medicine which is also used in treatment and prevention of gastrointestinal ulcers.
It works by reducing the amount of acid in your stomach, the NHS website states. It also protects the lining of the stomach and intestine from the effects of acid by increasing the amount of bicarbonate and mucus in the stomach.
The drug should not be used for women planning to conceive, it adds.
Misoprostol was put on the World Health Organisation's essential drugs list in 2011, but it has been argued that the dangers associated with it are understated.
Other academics have claimed that there is enough evidence that it safely prevents haemorrhaging immediately following childbirth. It is also at the centre of a debate over its use to induce abortions.
