SYNTOCINON is a synthetic oxytocin injection approved in 1980 for postpartum hemorrhage and female sexual dysfunction. It acts on uterine smooth muscle to stimulate contractions by increasing intracellular calcium, with response dependent on uterine sensitivity and oxytocin receptor concentration. The drug is administered via injection and is indicated primarily for obstetric emergencies and select gynecological conditions.
