Abstract

Results of this study indicate that pretreatment with indomethacin significantly increases the abortifacient effect of an intravenous infusion of PGE 2 in patients admitted for abortion as a result of fetal death in utero. Indomethacin pretreatment shortened the duration of PGE 2-induced abortion in primigravid and multigravid groups of patients by about 4 and 2 hours respectively. When primigravid and multigravid groups were combined, the dose of PGE 2 needed for complete delivery decreases in the indomethacin-treated group by 39.9%.
