Oxytocin is a synthetic hormone injection used to treat postpartum hemorrhage by stimulating uterine contractions. It works by acting on smooth muscle receptors in the uterus to increase the frequency and tone of contractions, particularly effective in the immediate postpartum period. The drug has been approved since 1980 and remains a critical intervention in obstetrics.
