  • Title: Induction of abortion by intramuscular administration of (15S)-15-methyl PGF2 alpha. An overview of 815 cases.

    Journal: J Reprod Med; 1979 Dec; 23(6):289-93. PubMed ID: 392084.
    Abstract:
    The use of intramuscular (15S)-15-methyl prostaglandin F2 alpha (Prostin/15 M [The Upjohn Company, Kalamazoo, Michigan] sterile solution; carboprost tromethamine) for termination of pregnancy between six and 24 weeks' gestation was studied by 20 investigators. Of 815 women treated according to the dosage regimen described here, 78.4% had complete abortions and 18.0% incomplete abortions, for an overall success rate of 96.4%. The majority of patients had vomiting and diarrhea but usually tolerated these side effects well enough that treatment did not have to be discontinued. There were no serious adverse reactions directly attributable to the prostaglandin therapy.
