How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Oxytocin 20 Units/Gm Vaginal Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to address various gynecological conditions such as postpartum hemorrhage, uterine atony, and delayed or inadequate uterine contractions. This gel is a synthetic version of the hormone oxytocin, which is naturally produced by the body during labor and delivery. The gel is applied directly to the vaginal wall, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, the oxytocin stimulates the uterus to contract, aiding in the reduction of bleeding and the restoration of normal uterine function.

When used to treat postpartum hemorrhage, the typical dosage of Oxytocin 20 Units/Gm Vaginal Gel is a single dose of 20 units. For uterine atony, the dosage may be increased to 40 units. In cases of delayed or inadequate uterine contractions, the dosage may be increased to 60 units. It is crucial to apply the gel directly to the vaginal wall and not to ingest it.

Oxytocin 20 Units/Gm Vaginal Gel should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider. It is not recommended for use in pregnant women, as it may induce uterine contractions and potentially lead to premature labor. Furthermore, it should not be used by women with a history of hypersensitivity to oxytocin or any of the ingredients in the gel.
