Abstract
A comparative study of a synthetic prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) derivative and 15-methyl prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) in the termination of midtrimester pregnancy of 13-20 weeks of gestation by intramuscular route, showed 97.5% success rate in both the groups but in comparison to 15-methyl PGF2 alpha which produced severe side-effects eg. diarrhoea and vomiting, synthetic PGE2 derivative had minimal or no side-effects.
