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.
