Abstract
This study examines whether labor can be induced with the intramuscular administration of 15-(S)-methyl prostaglandin F2.alpha. in cases of intrauterine fetal death. The success rate of labor induction in the studied group was 93.75%, and was the same for primigravid and multigravid patients. The authors conclude that the prophylactic administration of an analgesic potentiator, an antiemetic and an anti-diarrheal is advantageous to a woman''s tolerance of the prostaglandin. PGF2.alpha. is a quick and effective drug for use in the induction of labor to terminate pregnancies with intrauterine fetal death and offers tolerable side-effects when used with adjuvant medication.Keywords
