ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a composition for inhibiting uterine contractility by topical or local administration. The composition contains an omega fatty acid in combination with a cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor. Preferred omega fatty acids include docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, and preferred cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors include acetylsalicylic acid and salicylic acid. The composition may further include pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or diluents, and may be locally applied via intracervical or intrauterine application, or may be topically applied to the skin of the lower abdomen.
