About Medidin Gel
Medidin Gel 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.
Medidin Gel 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 baby comes out easily. Also, it increases uterus contractions and hence induces labour. As a result, these increased uterine contractions help deliver the child.
Medidin Gel 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 over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Do not use Medidin Gel if you are allergic to Medidin Gel 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 to affect how Medidin Gel works. A Medidin Gel 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 Medidin Gel at a hospital, do not practice self-administration.

Directions for Use
Medicinal Benefits
Medidin Gel 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 baby comes out easily. Also, it increases prostaglandins production, which further increases uterus contractions and hence induces labour. As a result, these increased uterine contractions help deliver the child.
Storage
- Inform your doctor immediately if you experience a fever after starting a new medication.
- Your doctor may adjust your medication regimen or dosage as needed to minimize fever symptoms.
- Monitor your body temperature to monitor fever progression.
- Drink plenty of fluids, such as water or electrolyte-rich beverages, to help your body regulate temperature.

- If your fever is extremely high (over 103°F), or if you experience severe symptoms such as confusion, seizures, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Warnings
Do not take Medidin Gel if you are allergic to Medidin Gel 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. Increasing the dose of Medidin Gel can be harmful if your womb already has too strong contractions, any obstructions in the pathway that might prevent the delivery or if the baby is not receiving a sufficient oxygen supply. Also, the use of Medidin Gel is not advisable if the baby is wrongly positioned in the birth canal, the baby’s head is too large to fit through the pelvis, the placenta lies near the neck of the womb, the placenta separates from the womb before birth, the womb is over-extended and likely to tear (in case you are carrying more than one baby). A Medidin Gel 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 Medidin Gel at a hospital, do not practice self-administration.
