Oxytocin is a female reproductive hormone which is secreted in hypothalamus and is released into the bloodstream during a childbirth to induce a labor and milk production in the lactating mother. Oxytocic drugs as a medication, can be used as an uterotonic i.e. as an agent to induce uterine contractions (induced labor) and to reduce hemorrhage after C-section. Besides, oxytocic drugs are also given in conditions such as uterine atony, post-mature birth, pre-eclampsia (hypertension in pregnancy), postpartum hemorrhage, stillbirth (death of baby in uterus), as an adjunct therapy in case of incomplete abortion and treatment of autism. Oxytocic drugs are also used in veterinary medicine. Endogenously secreted oxytocin manifests its effects towards the end of pregnancy, during child birth and just after delivery. Synthetic oxytocic drugs are devoid of antidiuretic activity due to absence of vasopressin. According to World Health Organization’s (WHO) preterm birth fact sheet 2015, each year 15 Mn babies are born prematurely across the globe and the number is on rise. As per National Center for Health Statistics, U.S. reported 23.3% labor induction rate in 2012.
