MONTOCIN INJ

MONTOCIN INJ

Oxytocin stimulates the contractions in smooth muscles in the uterus and mammary glands.
The effect on uterine muscles is highly influenced by reproductive hormones like oestrogen and progesterone. Contractions in uterine muscles are much more pronounced if uterus is under the influence of oestrogen. Progesterone antagonizes the effect of oxytocin.
