Use of intramuscular 15(S)-15-methyl prostaglandin F2alpha in failed abortions.
Forty-five of 49 patients were aborted successfully with 15(S)-15-Me-PGF2alpha after previous techniques to induce abortion had met with failure in 39. Nine patients had spontaneous premature rupture of membranes without onset of labor. The majority of patients aborted within 7 hours following initiation of this method of treatment.
