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.
