Pharmacological Action

It can selectively excite the uterus and strengthen the contraction of uterine smooth muscle. Its stimulating effect on uterine smooth muscle varies with the dose and the level of hormones in the body. Small dose can increase the rhythmic contraction of uterine muscle in the end of pregnancy, and make its contraction and relaxation uniform. Large doses can cause tonic contraction of the uterine smooth muscle, so that the blood vessels in the myometrium are compressed and have a hemostatic effect. In addition, oxytocin can promote the contraction of myoepithelial cells around the acinar and glandular ducts of the breast, and promote the ejection of milk.
