Abstract
The 15-methyl analogue of PGF2alpha was administered intramuscularly between 23 and 36 weeks of gestation, to induce labour in 11 mothers with intrauterine fetal death and two with anencephaly. All were delivered within 20 hours (mean 7 hours). The mean dose of 15-me-PGF2alpha was 400 mug (range 100 to 700) given by a mean of 3-1 (range 1 to 7) injections. Diarrhoea was the most frequent side-effect.Keywords
