Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Intramuscular administration of dihomo 15 methyl prostaglandin F2alpha is highly effective for terminating abnormal intrauterine pregnancies, and associated diarrhea can be prevented with loperamide.
A synthetic compound, 2a, 2b dihomo 15 (S) 15 methyl prostaglandin F 2 alpha methyl ester given 8-hourly by intramuscular injection was used to terminate pregnancies in 72 patients with a missed abortion, intrauterine fetal death, molar or anencephalic pregnancies. Treatment was successful in all cases. A 4 mg dose of loperamide given orally at 15 to 30 minutes before the injection of prostaglandin analogue prevented diarrhoea as a side effect.
