Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dinoprostone (Prepidil) is a prostaglandin E2 used for cervical ripening and induction of labor. It can cause uterine contractions and increase the risk of uterine rupture in women with a history of cesarean delivery or other uterine surgery. Women with cardiac disease are at increased risk of complications from the uterine contractions induced by dinoprostone, thus caution should be exercised when using this medication in these clients.
