Carboprost (INN, trade names for the tromethamine salts Hemabate, Tham) is a synthetic prostaglandin analogue of PGF2α (specifically, it is 15-methyl-PGF2α) with oxytocic properties. Carboprost induces contractions and can trigger abortion in early pregnancy. It also reduces postpartum bleeding. == Indication == Used in postpartum hemorrhage caused by uterine atony not controlled by other methods. One study has shown that carboprost tromethamine is more effective than oxytocin in preventing postpartum hemorrhage in high-risk patients undergoing caesarian delivery. Carboprost is also used for the termination of pregnancy in the 2nd trimester.〔Hemabate (Insert ).
