4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 TARGET SPECIES
Sows, Ewes, Cows, Bitches, and Queens.
4.2 INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES
In general, for all target species:
Stimulation of uterine contractions to facilitate parturition in the
presence of a fully dilated cervix.
To promote involution of the post-parturient uterus and thus aid the
passage of retained placenta.
To help control post-partum haemorrhage.
Promotion of milk let-down in cases of agalactia and as a co-adjuvant
in antibiotic treatment of mastitis.
4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not use in females with obstructive dystochia, pelvic-foetal
disproportion or with any other mechanical obstruction.
Do not use in animals with cardiovascular problems.
To prevent the risk of foetal death and possible uterine rupture, do
not use to induce parturition if cervical dilatation is not
confirmed.
Do not use in sows with normal parturition.
4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
Adrenaline at physiological levels markedly reduces the effect of
oxytocin on the uterus and mammary gland. For this reason
the animal should not be stressed when complete oxytocin effect is
desired to cause either milk let-down or uterine
contractions.
