Gemeprost, a metabolically stabilized analog of PGE1, has been demonstrated to
reliably induce termination of early pregnancy when administered as a vaginal
suppository. Its effect is presumably due to both uterine contraction and rapid
decline of steroid hormone levels. Minimal side effects have been reported.
용도
Gemeprost is an analogue of Prostaglandin (P838600). Gemeprosts, similarly to Nitric Oxide donors, induce uterine cervical dilation and are used before surgical termination of pregnancy.
