Dinoprostone is available as Prepidil and Cervidil. Prepidil is a gel thatâs rubbed onto the mucous membranes of the cervix with an applicator. Cervidil is a wafer-like insert thatâs positioned in the top of the vagina. Once the gel or insert is in place, it slowly releases prostaglandins into the nearby tissues. Prepidil and Cervidil usually take six to 12 hours to take full effect, after which the cervix is re-evaluated to see if labor can be induced. If your cervix still hasnât ripened, your doctor may give you another dose of medication.
