Oxytocin 5IU/mL Injection
SKU GME382
Product Introduction
Oxytocin 5 IU/mL Injection is an injectable uterotonic medicine used in obstetric care to stimulate uterine contractions when oxytocin is clinically indicated. It may be used for medically indicated labor induction or augmentation, management of incomplete or inevitable abortion under protocol, and prevention or treatment of postpartum bleeding due to poor uterine tone.
How to use
Oxytocin 5 IU/mL Injection is given only by trained healthcare professionals. Maternal contractions, bleeding, fluid balance, blood pressure, and fetal status are monitored according to indication and protocol.
How it works
Oxytocin binds uterine oxytocin receptors, increasing rhythmic uterine contractions and promoting uterine tone after delivery.
Common side effects
Possible effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, cramping, and injection-related reactions. Serious concerns include uterine hyperstimulation, fetal distress, uterine rupture, severe low blood pressure, arrhythmia, water intoxication, hyponatremia, seizures, and allergic reaction.
Important information
Review indication, pregnancy status, fetal position/status, previous uterine surgery, placenta previa, cephalopelvic disproportion, multiple pregnancy, preeclampsia, heart disease, fluid balance, and concurrent uterotonic medicines.
Uses
Medically supervised labor induction or augmentation, selected abortion-management protocols, and prevention or treatment of postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony.
Benefits
Promotes controlled uterine contractions and uterine tone when obstetric monitoring supports safe use.
What is Oxytocin 5 IU/mL Injection used for?
Oxytocin 5 IU/mL Injection is used in supervised obstetric care to stimulate uterine contractions or control postpartum bleeding.
Why is monitoring required?
Too much uterine activity can affect fetal oxygenation and maternal safety.
Can Oxytocin 5 IU/mL Injection be self-administered?
No. Oxytocin injection should be given only by trained healthcare professionals.
What is uterine atony?
Uterine atony means the uterus does not contract strongly enough after delivery, increasing bleeding risk.

Severe headache, seizure, chest pain, severe bleeding, fetal distress signs, or severe abdominal pain need urgent care.
