WHAT TRACTOCILE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Tractocile contains atosiban. Tractocile can be used to delay the
premature birth of your baby. Tractocile is
used in pregnant adult women, from week 24 to week 33 of the
pregnancy.
Tractocile works by making the contractions in your womb (uterus) less
strong. It also makes the
contractions happen less often. It does this by blocking the effect of
a natural hormone in your body called
“oxytocin” which causes your womb (uterus) to contract.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_ _
Posology
Treatment with Tractocile should be initiated and maintained by a
physician experienced in the treatment of
pre-term labour.
Tractocile
is administered intravenously in three successive stages: an initial
bolus dose (6.75 mg),
performed with Tractocile 6.75 mg/0.9 ml solution for injection,
immediately followed by a continuous high
dose infusion (loading infusion 300 micrograms/min) of Tractocile 37.5
mg/5 ml concentrate for solution for
infusion during three hours, followed by a lower dose of Tractocile
37.5 mg/5 ml concentrate for solution for
infusion (subsequent infusion 100 micrograms/min) up to 45 hours. The
duration of the treatment should not
exceed 48 hours. The total dose given during a full course of
Tractocile therapy should preferably not exceed
330.75 mg of atosiban.
Intravenous therapy using the initial bolus injection should be
started as soon as possible after diagnosis of
pre-term labour. Once the bolus has been injected, proceed with the
