Description: Dinoprostone/Prostaglandin E2 is a type of prostaglandin that has a contracting effect on the uterus in all stages of pregnancy, with the uterus being most sensitive in late pregnancy. The drug can directly impact the uterine smooth muscles, stimulating contractions similar to those in full-term labor. It can also directly soften the cervix, aiding in cervical dilation. Dinoprostone/Prostaglandin E2 can also induce contractions in gastrointestinal smooth muscles and can also act on vascular smooth muscles.
