Important Safety Information
Cervidil Vaginal Insert (dinoprostone, 10 mg) is indicated for the initiation and/or
continuation of cervical ripening in patients at or near term in whom there is a
medical or obstetrical indication for the induction of labor.
Cervidil is for hospital use only and should be administered only by trained obstetrical
personnel in a hospital setting with appropriate obstetrical care facilities.
Cervidil is designed to be released at approximately 0.3 mg/hour over a 12-hour
period. Cervidil should be removed upon onset of active labor or 12 hours after
insertion.
Upon removal of Cervidil, it is essential to ensure that the slab has been removed
as it may have separated from the knitted polyester retrieval system and will continue
delivering the active ingredient.
