Glandin E2 Tablet

Glandin E2 Tablet contains Dinoprostone, a prostaglandin used in labour. Made by Nabiqasim Industries Ltd, it is prescribed for induction of labour.

Uses of Glandin E2 Tablet

Glandin E2 Tablet is used in hospital to soften and open the cervix so that labour can begin, usually when a pregnancy has gone past the due date or when there is a medical reason to deliver the baby. It is given as a vaginal gel, tablet or slow-release insert and is used only by obstetric staff with careful monitoring.

How Glandin E2 Tablet works

Dinoprostone is a man-made form of prostaglandin E2, a substance the body naturally produces at the start of labour. It softens and thins the cervix, a process called ripening, and encourages the womb to begin contracting.

Possible side effects

With Glandin E2 Tablet, some women notice effects such as:

• Nausea or vomiting
• Diarrhoea

It is used only with monitoring of mother and baby. Tell staff at once about very strong, painful or continuous contractions, heavy bleeding or breathlessness.
