About Oxitis Injection 1 ml
Oxitis Injection 1 ml belongs to the class of medication called 'oxytocic' or 'uterotonic', primarily used for initiating or improving uterine contraction (antepartum) and producing uterine contraction during the third stage of labour (postpartum). Besides this, it also controls postpartum bleeding or haemorrhage after childbirth. Labour induction stimulates uterine (womb) contractions during pregnancy before labour pain begins to achieve a vaginal birth. It is recommended by the doctor for labour induction for various reasons, especially when there is a concern for a mother's or baby's health.
Oxitis Injection 1 ml contains a synthetic female hormone, 'Oxytocin', given in the intravenous (IV) form or intramuscular (IM) form that stimulates uterine muscles and increases the uterus' contractions. It also increases the production of a natural substance called prostaglandins (PGs), increasing contractions and hence inducing labour. As a result, these increased uterine contractions help deliver the child.
Your doctor will give Oxitis Injection 1 ml before childbirth or during labour pain. Do not self-administer. The most common side effects of Oxitis Injection 1 ml are nausea, vomiting, and headache. Most of these side effects of Oxitis Injection 1 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
If you ever had surgery on the uterus, cesarean or premature labour, please inform your doctor before taking Oxitis Injection 1 ml to avoid complications. Also, mention all the other medications you are taking to affect how Oxitis Injection 1 ml works. If you have been given prostaglandins, Oxitis Injection 1 ml should not be given within 6 hours as both medications, if taken together, can increase the contractions. A Oxitis Injection 1 ml should not be used for a prolonged time if the contractions do not improve, severe pre-eclamptic toxaemia (high blood pressure, protein in the urine, and swelling), or blood or heart circulation problems.
Uses of Oxitis Injection 1 ml
Directions for Use
Medicinal Benefits
Oxitis Injection 1 ml contains a female hormone primarily used in inducing labour. It plays a major role in childbirth by increasing uterus contractions and inducing labour in pregnant women. In addition to this, it is also used to stop bleeding after delivery and manage a miscarriage in cesarean section. When given in the intravenous form, Oxytocin stimulates uterine muscles and increases the contractions in the uterus. Also, it increases the production of prostaglandins, which further increases contractions and hence induces labour. As a result, these increased uterine contractions help deliver the child.

Drug Warnings
Do not take Oxitis Injection 1 ml if you are allergic to Oxitis Injection 1 ml or any of its ingredients. Increasing the dose of Oxitis Injection 1 ml can be harmful if your womb already has too strong contractions, any obstructions in the pathway that might prevent the delivery or if the baby is not receiving a sufficient oxygen supply. Also, the use of Oxitis Injection 1 ml is not advisable if the baby is wrongly positioned in the birth canal, the baby’s head is too large to fit through the pelvis, the placenta lies near the neck of the womb, the placenta separates from the womb before birth, the womb is over-extended and likely to tear (in case you are carrying more than one baby). If you have been given prostaglandins, do not use Oxitis Injection 1 ml with 6 hours; if taken together, it can increase the contractions. Oxitis Injection 1 ml should not be used for a prolonged time if the contractions do not improve or if you have severe pre-eclamptic toxaemia (high blood pressure, protein in the urine, and swelling) or blood or heart circulation problems. A professional should always administer Oxitis Injection 1 ml at a hospital, do not practice self-administration. It should also not be given as a rapid injection into a vein as it might cause hypotension (low blood pressure) or suddenly increased heart rate.
