What are the Side Effects of Prostaglandin?

Common side effects of prostaglandin administration include:
- [Apnea](): Temporary cessation of breathing.
- [Hypotension](): Low blood pressure.
- [Fever](): Elevated body temperature.
- [Seizures](): Uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain leading to convulsions.
- [Flushing](): Reddening of the skin.
Given these potential side effects, infants receiving prostaglandin therapy are usually monitored in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) where they can receive immediate medical attention if needed.
