How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (CERVIDIL). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Dinoprostone is found in low concentrations in most tissues of the body and functions as a local hormone.

In pregnancy, dinoprostone is secreted continuously by the fetal membranes and placenta and plays an important role in the final events leading to the initiation of labor including cervical ripening.

Half-life2.5–5 min
