Synthetic oxytocin

L T HIBBARD et al. Calif Med. 1960 Feb.

Abstract

A synthetic oxytocin, Syntocinon(R), was used in 3,342 obstetrical patients for a wide variety of indications. It was concluded that the preparation is as effective as natural oxytocin.(1) There were no side effects observed, particularly vasospasm or anaphylactic reaction. Its use in clinical obstetrics can be recommended provided there is a proper indication for its use and the need for close supervision and individual adjustment of dosage is recognized.
