Description
Oxytocin 50 IU/mL Nasal Spray - 10mL is a pharmaceutical preparation primarily used for the induction of labor and the control of postpartum hemorrhage. Administered intranasally, it facilitates uterine contractions by stimulating oxytocin receptors in the uterine muscle. Clinical application requires close monitoring of uterine activity to prevent complications.
Adverse effects may include uterine hyperstimulation and water intoxication due to the antidiuretic properties of oxytocin. These risks are increased when used concurrently with vasopressors or excessive fluid administration. Caution is advised, particularly in patients with cardiovascular conditions or electrolyte imbalances.
Use is contraindicated in cases of significant cephalopelvic disproportion or unfavorable fetal positions, where the physical conditions of labor are not ideal. Recent studies have explored off-label use of intranasal oxytocin in managing symptoms of autism spectrum disorders and social anxiety. Though findings are preliminary, they suggest potential neuromodulatory effects on social cognition.
