WHAT OXYTOCIN ASPEN INJECTION IS USED FOR OXYTOCIN ASPEN INJECTION can be used to bring on (induce) labour. It can also be used during and immediately after delivery to help the birth and to prevent or treat excessive bleeding. OXYTOCIN ASPEN INJECTION is a man-made chemical that is identical to a natural hormone called oxytocin. It works by stimulating the muscles of the uterus (womb) to produce rhythmic contractions. OXYTOCIN ASPEN INJECTION is not suitable in all situations - for example, if the baby or placenta are in the wrong position or if you have had a previous Caesarian section or other surgery involving the uterus. Your doctor can give you more information on the suitability of this medicine in your particular case.

OXYTOCIN ASPEN INJECTION – Product Information Page 1 of 9 PRODUCT INFORMATION _OXYTOCIN ASPEN INJECTION _ NAME OF THE DRUG: OXYTOCIN _Structural Formula _ CAS No. 50-56-6 DESCRIPTION: The active substance in OXYTOCIN ASPEN INJECTION is a synthetic nonapeptide identical with oxytocin (AAN), a hormone released by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland of mammals. The hormone is prepared synthetically to avoid possible contamination with vasopressin (ADH) and other small polypeptides with biologic activity. Oxytocin Aspen Injection is a sterile, clear, colourless aqueous solution of synthetic oxytocin, for intravenous infusion or intramuscular injection. Excipients are sodium acetate, glacial acetic acid and water for injections. PHARMACOLOGY: PHARMACODYNAMICS Oxytocin stimulates the smooth muscle of the uterus, producing rhythmic contractions, particularly towards the end of pregnancy, during labour, after delivery and in the puerperium, that is, at times when the number of specific oxytocins receptors in the myometrium is increased. When given by low-dose intravenous infusion, oxytocin injection elicits rhythmic uterine contractions that are indistinguishable in frequency, force and duration from those observed during natural labour. At higher infusion doses, or when given by a single injection, the drug is capable of causing sustained tetanic uterine contractions. Upon discontinuation of the infusion or following a substantial reduction in the infusion rate (e.g. in the event of over stimulation), uterine activity declines rapidly but may continue at an adequate lower level. Oxytocin also causes contraction of the myo-epithelial cells surrounding the mammary alveoli. It therefore facilitates lactation in women experiencing difficulty in breast feeding. Synthetic oxytocin has only very slight pressor and anti-diuretic activity due to the absence of vasopressin. Another pharmacological effect observed with high doses of Oxytocin, particularly when administered by rapid intravenous bolus injection, has a trans Pročitajte cijeli dokument
