Title: Termination of abnormal intrauterine pregnancies with intramuscular administration of dihomo 15 methyl prostaglandin F 2alpha. Author: Karim SM, Ratnam SS. Journal: Br J Obstet Gynaecol; 1976 Nov; 83(11):885-9. PubMed ID: 990229. Abstract: A synthetic compound, 2a, 2b dihomo 15 (S) 15 methyl prostaglandin F 2 alpha methyl ester given 8-hourly by intramuscular injection was used to terminate pregnancies in 72 patients with a missed abortion, intrauterine fetal death, molar or anencephalic pregnancies. Treatment was successful in all cases. A 4 mg dose of loperamide given orally at 15 to 30 minutes before the injection of prostaglandin analogue prevented diarrhoea as a side effect.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
