Pregnancy: Dinoprostone is for use in pregnant women at or near term.
Prostaglandin E2 produced an increase in skeletal anomalies in rats and rabbits. Dinoprostone has been shown to be embryotoxic in rats and rabbits, and any dose that produces sustained increased uterine tone could put the embryo or fetus at risk (see Precautions).
Lactation: Prostaglandins are excreted in breast milk at very low concentrations. No measurable differences were observed in the milk of mothers delivering prematurely and at term.
