Dinost 0.5 mg Gel 3 gm

Dinost 0.5Mg Gel belongs to the class of medication called 'oxytocic' or 'uterotonic', primarily used for the initiation or improvement of uterine contraction (antepartum) and producing uterine contraction during the third stage of labour (postpartum). Labour induction stimulates uterine (womb) contractions during pregnancy before labour pain begins to achieve a vaginal birth. It is recommended by the doctor for labour induction for various reasons, especially when there is a concern for a mother's health or a baby's health.

Dinost 0.5Mg Gel contains a prostaglandin Dinoprostone that stimulates uterine muscles and increases the uterus' contractions. It works by increasing the production of a natural substance called prostaglandins (PGs) that softens and widens the cervix (opening of the womb) so that the baby comes out easily. Also, it increases uterus contractions and hence induces labour. As a result, these increased uterine contractions help deliver the child.

Dinost 0.5Mg Gel is not intended for self-application as it is typically used in hospital settings under the supervision of medical healthcare professionals. After taking the medication, you may be asked to lie down for at least 30 minutes. You may experience certain common side effects such as back pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, flushing of the skin, and fetal distress in some cases. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not use Dinost 0.5Mg Gel if you are allergic to Dinost 0.5Mg Gel or its ingredients. Be sure your doctor knows your entire pregnancy history, especially if you have ever had a C-section or major surgery on your uterus, if you have had a baby born in a breech position, or if you have had a difficult labour or delivery of a previous child. Also, mention all the other medications you are taking that affect how Dinost 0.5Mg Gel works. A Dinost 0.5Mg Gel should not be used for a prolonged time if the contractions do not increase or have severe pre-eclamptic toxaemia (high blood pressure, protein in the urine, and swelling) or blood or heart circulation problems. A professional should always administer Dinost 0.5Mg Gel at a hospital and not practice self-administration.

Dinost 0.5Mg Gel is used in the management of Labour induction. The detailed uses of Dinost 0.5Mg Gel are as follows:

• Cervical Ripening: Dinost 0.5Mg Gel softens and dilates the cervix in preparation for labor induction.
• Induction of Labor: Dinost 0.5Mg Gel stimulates uterine contractions to initiate labor in full-term pregnancies.

• Dinost 0.5Mg Gel is for vaginal use only.
• It is not intended for self-application, as it is administered by a healthcare professional in a hospital setting at the appropriate time to help your cervix for labour.
• Dinost 0.5Mg Gel is applied directly to the cervix through the vagina using a specialized applicator. This is typically done while you are lying on your back.
• After the application, you will need to remain lying down for 15 to 30 minutes, and possibly up to 2 hours, unless your doctor gives different instructions.

Dinost 0.5Mg Gel contains a prostaglandin 'Dinoprostone' primarily used in inducing labour. It plays a major role in childbirth as it softens and widens the cervix (opening of the womb) so that the baby comes out easily. Also, it increases prostaglandin production, which further increases uterus contractions and hence induces labour. As a result, these increased uterine contractions help deliver the child.

Do not take Dinost 0.5Mg Gel if you are allergic to Dinost 0.5Mg Gel or its ingredients. Be sure your doctor knows your entire pregnancy history, especially if you have ever had a C-section or major surgery on your uterus, if you have had a baby born in a breech position, or if you have had a difficult labour or delivery of a previous child. Increasing the dose of Dinost 0.5Mg Gel can be harmful if your womb already has too strong contractions, any obstructions in the pathway that might prevent the delivery or if the baby is not receiving a sufficient oxygen supply. Also, the use of Dinost 0.5Mg Gel is not advisable if the baby is wrongly positioned in the birth canal, the baby’s head is too large to fit through the pelvis, the placenta lies near the neck of the womb, the placenta separates from the womb before birth, the womb is over-extended and likely to tear (in case you are carrying more than one baby). A Dinost 0.5Mg Gel should not be used for a prolonged time if the contractions do not increase or have severe pre-eclamptic toxaemia (high blood pressure, protein in the urine, and swelling) or blood or heart circulation problems. A professional should always administer Dinost 0.5Mg Gel at a hospital and not practice self-administration.
