Abstract
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical combination product for the induction of labor or for preventing the development of pregnancy, containing (A) one or more antigestagen(s) (B) one or more long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid(s) or preparations thereof and, if necessary, (C) prostaglandins, where suitable as antigestagens are all compounds which have a strong affinity for the gestagen receptor but at the same time do not themselves have any considerable intrinsic gestagenic activity. The products are preferably administered intravaginally or (extra)amnially. In this connection, it is possible for the antigestagens and the fatty acids according to the invention to be administered either simultaneously or separately, for example consecutively.
