What Experts Say
Dinoprostone is a synthetic form of prostaglandin E2, a natural hormone like substance the body produces during labor. It helps soften, thin, and open the cervix, a process doctors call cervical ripening.
This medicine is placed directly into the vagina by a doctor or midwife in a hospital setting, where the mother and baby can be closely monitored. It is generally used when there is a clear medical reason to induce labor rather than waiting for it to start naturally.
Because dinoprostone can cause strong uterine contractions, continuous monitoring of the baby's heart rate and the mother's contractions is standard practice after it is given. Doctors watch closely for signs of excessive uterine activity.
