Evaprost injection eg, other potent oxytocic agents should be used only with strict adherence to recommended dosage. It should be used by medically-trained personnel in a hospital which can provide immediate intensive care and acute surgical facilities.
Evaprost does not appear to directly affect the fetoplacental unit. Therefore, the possibility does exist that the previable fetus aborted by Evaprost could exhibit transient life signs. Evaprost is not indicated if the fetus in utero has reached the stage of viability. It should not be considered a feticidal agent. Evidence from animal studies has suggested that certain other prostaglandins have some teratogenic potential. Although these studies do not indicate that Evaprost is teratogenic, any pregnancy termination with Evaprost that fails should be completed by some other means.
Evaprost contains benzyl alcohol. Benzyl alcohol has been reported to be associated with a fatal 'Gasping syndrome' in premature infants.
