How effective is limaprost -alprostadil analogue in cervical herniated nucleus pulposus ? my doctor gave me limaprost 30micro and prostaglandin 10mg
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herniated disc: Limaprost is a derivative of prostaglandin E-1 which is a potent vasodilator and inhibitor of platelet clumping or aggregation. In some cases of mild to moderate compression Limaprost works well. However most research does not support a clinical benefit.
