Intra-amniotic prostaglandin F 2alpha as a midtrimester abortifacient: effect of oxytocin and laminaria.
An abortion interval time of 15.9 hours was achieved in a group of women treated in midtrimester with intra-amniotic prostaglandin F2alpha and intravenous oxytocin. Routine addition of intracervical laminaria to this regimen was not helpful. The most useful prostaglandin protocol seems to be 30 mg as an initial dose followed by a booster at six hours.
