[The use of sulprostone (Nalador) in the evacuation of uterine contents. Apropos of 32 cases at the Department of Gynecology, University Hospital Center, Nîmes, over 2 years (a retrospective study)].
    Journal de gynecologie, obstetrique et biologie de la reproduction, 1993, Volume: 22, Issue:4

    We have studied the use of sulprostone in evacuating uterine contents in 32 patients, the majority of whom were in the second trimester of their pregnancies. There are three ways to administer the drug (continuous intravenous, intermittent intravenous, and intramuscular); the best results were obtained when the drug was administered continuously intravenously. It was well tolerated, the use of Nalbuphine reducing pain. There were few side effects. The use of this product is discussed in connection with a few of the cases as well as the possible alternative treatments in difficult cases.

Intravenous sulprostone and uterine scarring based upon 22 cases of therapeutic abortion during 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy.
    European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology, 1993, Volume: 50, Issue:2

    A preliminary study in 22 patients with uterine scarring was undertaken using sulprostone by intravenous infusion when therapeutic abortion was deemed necessary during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy. The dosage used was 500 micrograms by slow infusion lasting 10 h. There were no cases of ruptured uterus. Adverse reactions were absent. Results were satisfactory. Mean induction-expulsion duration: 11 h. Expulsion rate in 24 h: 63%. With strict monitoring and in a specialized center, this technique may be suggested when a late therapeutic abortion with a scarred uterus is indicated.
