Product Description
Composition:
Each ml contains Oxytocin BP 10 IU.
Mechanism of Action:
Oxytocin is a hormone, influencing the uterine musculature in the late stage of
pregnancy, during and a few days after parturition. It is used for speeding expulsion
of the foetus or foetuses (only in dogs, cats and pigs) and after parturition it
promotes the expulsion of the placenta and involution of the uterus. Owing to its
effect on myoepithelial cells around the alveoli of the udder, it stimulates and
increases the secretion of milk.
