Active ingredient: Oxytocin

• Oxytocin acts as a hormone that stimulates uterine contractions during labour.
• It helps the uterus contract and push the baby out during delivery and also plays a crucial role in controlling post-delivery bleeding by causing the blood vessels in the uterus to constrict.
• Oxytocin works by binding to oxytocin receptors in the uterus, which triggers a series of chemical reactions leading to muscle contractions.
• This hormone helps regulate the timing, intensity and duration of contractions during labour.
• Additionally, oxytocin facilitates the release of breast milk after childbirth by stimulating milk ejection from the mammary glands.
