Side Effects

vomiting diarrhea back pain flushing of the skin

Medidin Gel is similar to a natural substance (E2 prostaglandin) which is released in your body when labor starts. It works by opening the part of the birth canal (cervix) and causing the uterus to contract to allow the baby through.

Medidin Gel helps induce labor in pregnant women. It is only used in a hospital or clinic by your doctor. You may be monitored closely after administration to make sure that the contractions do not become too strong and no distress comes to the baby. Inform your doctor if you have heart, kidney, lung or liver disease or if you have a history of asthma.
