WHAT ATOSIBAN SUN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Atosiban SUN contains atosiban. Atosiban SUN is used to delay the
premature birth of your baby.
Atosiban SUN is used in pregnant adult women, from week 24 to week 33
of the pregnancy.
Atosiban SUN works by making the contractions in your womb (uterus)
weaker. 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 atosiban should be initiated and maintained by a
physician experienced in the
treatment of pre-term labour.
Atosiban is administered intravenously in three successive stages: an
initial bolus dose (6.75 mg),
performed with atosiban 6.75 mg/0.9 ml solution for injection,
immediately followed by a continuous
high dose infusion (loading infusion 300 micrograms/min) of atosiban
37.5 mg/5 ml concentrate for
solution for infusion during three hours, followed by a lower dose of
atosiban 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
atosiban 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 infusion (See
Summary of Product Characteristics of Atosiban SUN 37.5 mg/5 ml,
concentrate for solution for
infusion). In the case of persistence of uterine contractions during
treatment with atosiban, alternative
therapy should be considere
