Description
Carboprost is given by injection to cause abortion. It is an oxytocic, which means it acts by causing the uterus to contract the way it does during labor and also helps the cervix to dilate.
Carboprost may also be used for other purposes as determined by your doctor.
Carboprost is to be administered only by or under the immediate care of your doctor.
