Veterinary Use Oxytocin Injection

Oxytocin Injection may be recommended for obstetrical use in cows, horses, ewes and sows, and to induce milk let-down in cows and sows. Because of the specific action of Oxytocin upon the uterine musculature, it is recommended as an aid to precipitate labor, accelerate normal parturition, for evacuation of postpartum uterine debris, or for postoperative contraction of the uterus. Oxytocin will contract the smooth muscle cells of the mammary gland to induce milk let-down if the udder is in a proper physiological state.

Generic Name: Oxytocin Injection

[Main Ingredients]This product is a sterile aqueous solution of oxytocin extracted or chemically synthesized from the posterior pituitary gland of pigs or cattle.

[Description]This product is colorless or almost clear liquid

[Functions]This product can selectively stimulate the uterus and strengthen the contraction of the uterine smooth muscle. Its function of stimulating uterine smooth muscle differs based on the dose size and hormone levels in the body. Small doses can increase the rhythmic contraction of the uterus during the end of pregnancy, and stabalize systolic and diastolic flow. Large doses cause uterine smooth muscle contraction, so that the blood vessels in the myometrium are compressed and thus will stop bleeding. In addition, oxytocin can promote the contraction of mammary acinus and myoepithelial cells around the ducts of the glands and increase milk supply.

[Indications]For oxytocin, postpartum uterine bleeding and retention of placenta, and also for the adjuvant treatment of endometritis

[Usage and Dosage]Subcutaneous, intramuscular injection; once dose, horse, cow - 6 ~ 20ml; sheep, pig - 2 ~ 10ml; dog - 0.4 ~ 2ml.
