there is a concern to the health of the baby Dinoprostone is the active ingredient of Cerviprime 0.5 MG gel. Prostaglandin dinoprostone stimulates uterine muscles and makes it easy to pass for the baby. Cerviprime 0.5 MG gel belongs to the class of medicines called oxytocics or uterotonics. Oxytocics or uterotonics are labour-inducing medicines. Labour pain is the process of helping the baby to come out of the womb via the birth canal/ vagina. Here, first, the uterus starts contractions that are regular and frequent. Gradually, the frequency and intensity of the uterine contractions increase, they become more regular. Usually, completing 40 weeks of pregnancy is the time for delivering the baby. When the woman is 40 weeks pregnant and the labour has not yet started, your doctor might choose to induce labour.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Cerviprime Gel contains a natural substance called prostaglandin dinoprostone. It is a substance that a woman’s body naturally produces when it is ready to deliver the baby. Prostaglandin softens and widens the womb (cervix) and facilitates uterine contractions.
Cerviprime Gel application further increases the production of prostaglandins and thus an increase in uterine contractions. It aids in easy childbirth and prevents complications during delivery....
