SYNTOCINON is a synthetic oxytocin injection administered via nasal route in solution form, indicated for stimulating uterine contractions during labor and delivery. It acts selectively on uterine smooth muscle to increase contraction frequency and tone, particularly toward the end of pregnancy and immediately post-delivery. Unlike natural posterior pituitary extracts, synthetic oxytocin lacks vasopressor effects on blood pressure.
