[Comparative studies on the termination of intact and disturbed pregnancies by intramuscular application of 15(s)-15-methyl-prostaglandin F2alpha (author's transl)].

15(S)-15-Methyl-Prostaglandin F2alpha was applied intramuscular to end 27 intact pregnancies mainly in the second trimenon and to induce abortion in 5 cases of disturbed pregnancy. The results showed a similar success of 90 percent in the cases of interruptions compared with the natural prostaglandins applied either extra- or intraamniotic; in the mean induction-abortion-interval of 16 hours the 15(S)-15-Methyl-Prostaglandin F2alpha is better than natural prostaglandins. It is much simpler to apply, the dosage is less.
