"Dinoprost tromethamine appears to act directly on the myometrium, but this has not been completely established. Dinoprost stimulates myometrial contractions (via its interaction with the prostaglandin receptors) in the gravid uterus that are similar to the contractions that occur in the term uterus during labor. These contractions are usually sufficient to cause abortion. Uterine response to prostaglandins increases gradually throughout pregnancy. Dinoprost also facilitates cervical dilatation and softening."@en . "Prostaglandin F2alpha tham"@en . . . . "Prostaglandin F2-alpha THAM"@en . . . . . "Humans and other mammals"@en . . . .

"The tromethamine (THAM) salt of the naturally occurring prostaglandin F2 alpha, dinoprost tromethamine occurs as a white to off-white, very hygroscopic, crystalline powder.

"Used for aborting second-trimester pregnancy (between the twelfth to eighteenth week of gestation) and in incomplete abortion or for therapeutic abortion in cases of intrauterine fetal death and congenital abnormalities incompatible with life. Also used at low-doses for medically indicated induction of labor at term. Also injected intra-arterially for use as a vasodilator to assist in angiography."@en . . . . .
