  • Title: Potentiating action of PGF2 alpha and syntocinon on the pregnant human uterus.
    Author: El Sayed L, Ali HM, Darwish S.
    Journal: Ain Shams Med J; 1977; 28(5-6):349-51. PubMed ID: 12260907.
    Abstract:
    The in vitro effects of administration of PGF2 alpha and syntocinon were studied using strips from pregnant human uteri collected at midtrimester, at term, and immediately postpartum as well as strips from a midtrimester pregnant cervix. It was found that when the 2 drugs are administered together a potentiating effect is achieved on the uterine strips but not on the cervical strips. The combined administration of low doses of PGF2 alpha and syntocinon may minimize or abolish the side effects of induced labor or abortion.
