Oxytocin is used for stimulation of labor and for prevention and treatment of uterine bleeding after abortion.
Oxytocin is a uterotonic agent which strengthens the permeability of myometrial cell membranes for ions, and causes contractions of the smooth muscles of the uterus.
It also stimulates lactation, contributing to the contraction of myoepithelial cells of the alveoli of the mammary glands.
Special instructions
The administration of oxytocin should be carried out only in a specialized medical hospital under strict medical supervision.
Interaction
With the introduction of oxytocin 3-4 hours after the use of vasoconstrictors together with caudal anesthesia, severe arterial hypertension is possible.
Under anesthesia with cyclopropane, halothane, it is possible to change the cardiovascular action of oxytocin with the unexpected development of arterial hypotension, sinus bradycardia and atrioventricular rhythm in a woman in labor during anesthesia.
