ABSTRACT
In this work it is commented about the use and abuse of prostaglandins which form part
of the so called autacoid agents or local hormones, as well as of their action mechanisms,
biosynthesis, metabolism, pharmacological actions, clinical uses, administration
schedules and adverse reactions. Likewise, it is stated that prostaglandins have very well-known effects on the smooth muscle and the platelets, and they act on other
important systems, such as the digestive, reproductive and the nervous systems, and in
the nervous autonomous posganglionar endings, the sensorial nerves endings, the
endocrine organs and the fatty tissue.
