Intravenously (slowly and driply), intramuscularly, subcutaneously, into the wall or vaginal part of the cervix, intranasally (using a pipette).
A single dose for the / m administration, depending on the clinical situation, usually varies from 2 to 10 ME (0.4 to 2 ml); for intravenous administration (jet slowly or drip) a single dose is usually 5-10 ME (1-2 ml).
For excitation of childbirth: in / m, at 0.5-2 ME (0.1-0.4 ml of the preparation); if necessary, repeat the injection every 30-60 minutes.
Induction of labor: in / in the drip, 10 ME oxytocin (2 ml of drug) per 1 L of 5% dextrose (glucose) solution, with the development of excessive uterine contractions, slowing of the infusion quickly leads to a decrease in myometrium activity. Introduction begins with 5-8 cap / min, with the subsequent increase in speed depending on the nature of labor activity, but not more than 40 cap / min. During the infusion, continuous monitoring of uterine activity and the number of fetal heartbeats are necessary.
Abortion in the course: in / in the drip, 10 ME (2 ml) of oxytocin per 500 ml of a 5% solution of dextrose (glucose) at a rate of 20-40 cap / min.
For the prevention of hypotonic uterine bleeding: oxytocin Enter in / m, for 3-5 ME (0.6-1 ml) 2-3 times a day daily for 2-3 days, admissible in / m administration 10 ME (2 ml) immediately after removal of the placenta.
For the treatment of hypotonic uterine bleeding: Introduce 5-8 ME (1-1.6 ml) 2-3 times a day for 3 days. If necessary, inject / drip 10-40 ME (2-8 ml) of oxytocin dissolved in 100 ml of donor blood.
Strengthening the separation of milk (to prevent mastitis due to milk stagnation): in / m - 2 ME (0.4 mL).
To stimulate lactation in the puerperium: intramuscularly or intranasally, 0.5 ME (0.1 ml) 5 minutes before feeding.
When giving birth in a pelvic presentation: 2-5 ME (0.4-1 ml).
In the operation of cesarean section (after removal of the afterbirth): oxytocin injected into the wall of the uterus at a dose of 3-5 ME (0.6-1 ml).
