Syntocinon Injection Information

Syntocinon (oxytocin) is a prescription medication used to induce labour. Syntocinon may also be used to control post-delivery bleeding. Syntocinon Injection is only used when there is any medical condition that prevents women from going into labor naturally. This medicine is given as an injection under the supervision of a doctor. Your doctor is the best person to decide how much amount should be given depending upon the condition. Hence, follow your doctor's advice while on treatment with this medicine. Syntocinon belongs to the class of medications called uterotonic agents which work by increasing the uterine tone and contractions. These agents intensify uterine muscle contractions at the beginning and during labor, and during the postpartum period. They lessen blood loss during childbirth and are extremely important in the prevention and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage.
