Uses of Dinost Vaginal gel
Benefits of Dinost Vaginal gel
In Induction of labour
Dinost 0.5mg Gel contains a natural substance (prostaglandin) called Dinoprostone, that your body makes in preparation for labour or delivery of a full term baby. It softens and widens the opening of the womb and increases contractions of the uterus. This helps the baby to come out of the mother’s womb with ease and prevents any complications involved with childbirth.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
Common side effects of Dinost
- Flushing of skin
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting

- Fever
- Uterine tachysystole

How to use Dinost Vaginal gel

How Dinost Vaginal gel works
Dinost 0.5mg Gel is similar to a natural substance (E2 prostaglandin) which is released in your body when labour starts. It works by opening the part of the birth canal (cervix) and causing the uterus to contract, to allow the baby through.
