Overview

FEMIPROST 125 MCG INJ is a Schedule H drug.

FEMIPROST 125 MCG INJ is composed of: CARBOPROST (125.0 MCG)

Carboprost is a form of prostaglandin (a hormone-like substance that occurs naturally in the body). Prostaglandins help to control functions in the body such as blood pressure and muscle contractions. Carboprost is used to treat severe bleeding after childbirth (postpartum). Carboprost is also used to produce an abortion by causing uterine contractions. It is usually given between the 13th and 20th weeks of pregnancy, but may be given at other times for medical reasons. Carboprost is often used when another method of abortion has not completely emptied the uterus, or when a complication of pregnancy would cause the baby to be born too early to survive. Carboprost stimulates contraction of the uterine muscles, helping to control post-delivery bleeding from the placenta.
