For the induction of labor, dinoprostone is available either as a gel (0.5 mg PGE2) or as a controlled-release formulation (10 mg PGE2) that releases PGE2 in vivo at a rate of about 0.3 mg/h over 12 hours. An advantage of the controlled-release formulation is a lower incidence of gastrointestinal side effects (< 1%). A further advantage of this delivery system is that the medication is contained within a vaginal insert that can be retrieved at any time.
