Oxytocin-S 25ml
Product Description
Oxytocin-S is indicated for use in cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, cats and dogs:
- stimulation of uterine contraction to facilitate parturition in the presence of a fully dilated cervix
- to promote involution of the post-parturient uterus and thus aid the passage of retained placenta
- to aid in the control of post-partum haemorrhage
- promotion of milk ‘let-down’ in cases of agalactia and to facilitate ‘stripping out’ of infected quarters in the treatment of mastitis in cows.
Dosage & Administration
Oxytocin-S should normally be given by deep intramuscular injection.
Adjunct to mastitis treatment in cows:
A single dose of up to 80 iu (8 ml) prior to stripping out before first mastitis treatment followed by repeated doses of 20 iu (2 ml) prior to each stripping out 2 or 3 times daily while mastitis treatment continues.
Where the intravenous route is used, these doses should be reduced to one-quarter of the intramuscular dose and the injection given slowly at a dilution of 1 in 10 Water for Injections Ph.Eur. Where speed of onset is not a priority, the product may be given by the subcutaneous route.
A low initial dosage is recommended by any route as repeat administration is permissible.
Large doses may be employed in post-parturient animals.
