Oxytocin Acetate

Labor induction begins with 0.5-1 mU/min IV, increasing by 1-2 mU/min every 30-60 minutes until adequate contractions achieved (maximum 20 mU/min). Postpartum hemorrhage prevention uses 10 IU intramuscular immediately after delivery. Treatment of active bleeding employs 10-40 IU in 500-1000mL IV fluid. Research protocols for autism use 24-48 IU intranasal spray daily.

For labor, doctors start with a very small amount through an IV and slowly increase it every 30-60 minutes until contractions are strong enough. For preventing bleeding after delivery, one injection is given in the muscle. The amounts are carefully calculated - too little won't work, too much can cause problems, so medical supervision is always required.

Primary route is intravenous continuous infusion using controlled infusion pumps for precise dosing during labor. Intramuscular injection in deltoid or gluteal muscle for single-dose applications like PPH prevention. Intranasal spray formulations used in research settings for CNS effects. Subcutaneous administration rarely used clinically but employed in some research protocols.
