Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Pronal Work?
- Stimulating uterine contractions: As a prostaglandin analog, carboprost tromethamine stimulates the myometrium (muscle layer of the uterus) to contract, which helps to expel any remaining products of conception and reduce uterine bleeding.
- Vasoconstriction: It may also cause vasoconstriction, helping to reduce blood flow and promote hemostasis.
Common Dosages
- Injectable solution: Common concentration is 250 mcg/mL.
Typical Dosing
- The usual recommended dose is 250 mcg administered intramuscularly (IM) or subcutaneously (SC) every 15 to 90 minutes, as needed, up to a maximum of 2 mg.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Treatment of postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony when other treatments have failed.
Who Shouldn't Take Pronal?
- Known hypersensitivity to carboprost tromethamine or any components of the formulation.
- Active pelvic inflammatory disease or any condition where the use of uterotonics is contraindicated.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Instruct healthcare providers to monitor the patient closely for side effects, including changes in blood pressure, uterine hypertonicity, and signs of an allergic reaction.
- Advise patients about the potential for nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal effects that may occur after administration.
- Discuss the importance of having a trained healthcare professional administer the injection in a controlled clinical setting.

Risks and Warnings of Pronal
- Uterine Hypertonicity: Monitor for excessive uterine contractions, which can lead to complications. If this occurs, the dose may need to be reduced or the medication discontinued.
- Cardiovascular Effects: Caution is advised in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease, as prostaglandins can cause vasodilation and changes in blood pressure.
