what do you use Prostaglandin for... i found it in my friend's refridgerator with needles and stuff soooooo wat is it used for???

Synthetic prostaglandins are used:

To prevent closure of ductus arteriosus in newborns with particular cyanotic heart defects

To prevent and treat peptic ulcers (PGE)

As a vasodilator in severe Raynaud's phenomenon or ischemia of a limb

In pulmonary hypertension

In treatment of glaucoma (as in bimatoprost ophthalmic solution, a synthetic prostamide analog with ocular hypotensive activity)

To treat erectile dysfunction or in penile rehabilitation following surgery (PGE1 as alprostadil).[6] it is used for glaucoma, but is usually in eye drop form..
