Cerviprime Gel is used to soften and open the cervix (neck of the womb) to prepare for induction of labour in women at or near the end of pregnancy. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing dinoprostone (prostaglandin E2), which belongs to a class of medicines called prostaglandins.
This medicine is used when labour needs to be started for medical reasons and the cervix is not yet ready. It is placed into the cervix by a doctor or midwife in hospital, where you and your baby will be monitored closely. Your healthcare team will decide whether a further dose is needed.
Following your healthcare team's advice on resting, moving around, eating and drinking during induction can help you stay comfortable. Let them know how you are feeling, including any pain or changes in your baby's movements.
Before this medicine is used, tell your doctor if you have had a caesarean section or other womb surgery, asthma, glaucoma, epilepsy, high blood pressure, heart, liver or kidney disease, or vaginal bleeding during this pregnancy, and about other medicines you take. Tell your healthcare team straight away if you have very strong or long-lasting contractions, severe pain, heavy bleeding, or notice reduced movements of your baby. Your team will decide when to continue or stop the treatment.
