Termination of early pregnancy by ONO-802 (16,16-dimethyl-trans-delta2-PGE1 methyl ester)

Prostaglandins. 1977 Oct;14(4):791-8. doi: 10.1016/0090-6980(77)90208-8.

Abstract

ONO-802 was infused into the uterine cavity for the termination of early pregnancy in 45 healthy volunteers. Forty two (93%) of the 45 cases had complete abortions and two had incomplete abortions. Nine (20%) of the 45 volunteers complained of nausea, 7 (16%) vomited and 5 (11%) complained of abdominal pain. Neither diarrhea nor weakness was observed. These results suggest that ONO-802 is more acceptable for the termination of early pregnancy than is PGF2alpha.
