Syntocinon

Syntocinon is a medication used to induce labor and help with the delivery process. It contains synthetic oxytocin, a hormone that stimulates the muscles of the uterus to produce rhythmic contractions. This helps to bring on labor and can also be used during and immediately after delivery to prevent or treat excessive bleeding. Syntocinon is available in ampoules containing 5 or 10 International Units (IU) of oxytocin and is only available with a doctor’s prescription. It is essential to use this medication under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as it may not be suitable for all situations, such as if the baby or placenta are in the wrong position or if you have had a previous caesarean section or other surgery involving the uterus. If you have any concerns or allergies, it is crucial to discuss them with your doctor or pharmacist before using Syntocinon.
