Dinoprost, also known as prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2α), is a naturally occurring prostaglandin used primarily to induce labor, terminate pregnancy, and treat postpartum hemorrhage due to retained placenta. It is not widely used today in human medicine, with synthetic prostaglandins generally preferred; however, it remains important in veterinary medicine for estrus synchronization and induction of parturition in cattle and other animals.
