Oxytip 5 IU (Oxytocin) Injection 1ml

Oxytip is a synthetic version of the natural hormone oxytocin, manufactured by Caspian Tamin Pharmaceutical Co. It is an essential medication in obstetric and maternity care, primarily used to induce or strengthen uterine contractions during childbirth and to manage postpartum recovery. In Nigeria, it is classified as a "Life-Saving Commodity" due to its critical role in reducing maternal mortality.

Indications and Uses in Nigeria

Oxytocin is used in Nigerian hospitals for several life-saving procedures:

• Labor Induction: Starting labor for medical reasons or when a pregnancy is overdue.
• Labor Augmentation: Strengthening contractions if labor is progressing too slowly.
• Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH) Management: Preventing and treating heavy bleeding after delivery by promoting uterine contraction.
• Miscarriage Management: Helping the uterus clear remaining tissue in cases of incomplete miscarriage under medical supervision.

Critical Cold Chain Storage

Because Nigeria has a warm climate, the storage of Oxytocin is critical. This medication is heat-sensitive and must be stored in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C. Exposure to heat can make the injection ineffective. At GoMed, we guarantee cold-chain delivery from our pharmacy to your facility to maintain product potency.

Safety Information

Oxytip is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM). It should only be administered in a hospital setting where fetal heart rate and maternal vital signs can be continuously monitored. Common side effects may include nausea or uterine cramping.
