It can cause peripheral vasoconstriction and is contraindicated in patients with hypertension or pregnancy related hypertension. 15-methyl-PGF2-alpha (Hemabate, Carboprost)  Highly effective but it is expensive. It can cause bronchospasm and it should be avoided in asthmatics. May cause diarrhea, fevers, or tachycardia. Misoprostol (Cytotec):  A synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog oral medication that can stimulate uterine contractions. Misoprostol does not need to be refrigerated because it is heat stable. It is easy to administer compared with oxytocin and ergot alkaloids in low-resource areas where refrigeration and sterile needles are not available. May cause a low-grade fever. Dinoprostone (Prostin E2): An alternative prostaglandin to misoprostol.After the medication is administered, the mother should be closely observed for to confirm the bleeding has stopped.

It is inexpensive and readily available. Balloon tamponade is the suggested method of tamponade in guidelines for management of PPH. A bakri balloon to tamponade (also with vaginal packing) can be used with Foley catheter insertion to facilitate bladder drainage.
