[Dinoprostone or sulprostone. Comparison of 2 analogs of prostaglandin for the interruption of pregnancy in the 2nd trimester].

We have reviewed a hundred terminations of pregnancy in the second trimester carried out in Geneva, using repeated intra-muscular injections of prostaglandin analogues. We have compared the efficacy and the importance of the side effects of two of these analogues, namely Dinoproston ( Prostin F2 alpha) and Sulproston ( Nalador 500). The induction-delivery interval was identically the same. On the other hand Sulproston provoked fewer cases of diarrhoea (18%) than Dinoproston (69%).
