Expert Advice

Dinoprostone helps induce labor in women who are ready to deliver a full-term baby.
It is administered only in a hospital or clinic by a qualified doctor.
Your doctor may ask you to lie down for at least 30 minutes after receiving Dinoprostone to ensure the medication remains in place.
A second dose of the medication may be given if contractions are not sufficiently strong.
You will be monitored closely after administration to ensure that contractions do not become excessively strong and that the baby does not experience any distress.
Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart, kidney, lung, or liver disease, or if you have a history of asthma.

Frequently asked questions

How is it applied?

Dinoprostone is administered in a hospital setting by a healthcare professional, such as a nurse or doctor, and is placed in the upper vagina. Its effects last for approximately 6 hours.

What is Dinoprostone?

Dinoprostone is a medication that mimics Prostaglandin E2, a natural substance in the body, to help initiate labor in women ready to deliver a full-term baby by softening and widening the cervix.

How many doses do I need?

The required dose varies based on individual response. A single dose may initiate labor, but additional doses can be given if the cervix is not fully prepared, with some patients receiving multiple doses.

What should I expect when I get this medicine?

After administration, both you and your baby's vital signs will be monitored continuously. You will need to lie down for at least 30 minutes, and contractions will be observed. Your doctor may perform an examination after 6 hours or sooner if strong contractions occur to assess labor progress.

What could be the possible side effects associated with it?

While uncommon, side effects of Dinoprostone may include fever, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Some women may also experience increased uterine contractions, which could potentially affect the baby.
