Description
Oxytocin 10 U/1 mL 25Bx is a synthetic form of the hormone oxytocin, used primarily in obstetrics to manage labor and delivery. It is administered via intravenous or intramuscular injection under controlled conditions in a clinical setting. The primary function of oxytocin is to stimulate uterine contractions, facilitating labor and delivery.
Oxytocin acts on the uterine smooth muscle by binding to oxytocin receptors, leading to an increase in intracellular calcium levels and subsequent contraction. Oxytocin has a role in lactation by stimulating the milk ejection reflex. The hormone is produced naturally by the posterior pituitary gland, but synthetic oxytocin provides a controlled and predictable option for medical use during labor.
Common side effects of oxytocin include uterine hyperstimulation, which may lead to fetal distress or uterine rupture, and water retention. Other adverse effects may include nausea, vomiting, or allergic reactions. Monitoring is essential during administration to avoid complications.
