Oxytocin belongs to a group of medicines called oxytocics: it makes the muscles of the uterus (womb) contract, helping to push out your baby. It is used in childbirth, in certain types of miscarriage and to prevent or control bleeding after delivery of your baby.

  • In the prevention and control of haemorrhage (bleeding) after delivery of your baby.
  • During a caesarean section.
