Cerviprime 0.5 mg Gel 3 gm

Cerviprime 0.5 mg Gel 3 gm 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.

Cerviprime 0.5 mg Gel 3 gm 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.

Cerviprime 0.5 mg Gel 3 gm 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 Cerviprime 0.5 mg Gel 3 gm if you are allergic to Cerviprime 0.5 mg Gel 3 gm 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 Cerviprime 0.5 mg Gel 3 gm works. A Cerviprime 0.5 mg Gel 3 gm 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 Cerviprime 0.5 mg Gel 3 gm at a hospital and not practice self-administration.

Cerviprime 0.5 mg Gel 3 gm 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.
