Oxytocics, also known as uterotonics, are a therapeutic class of pharmacologic agents that stimulate myometrial contractions and increase uterine muscle tone.
These drugs—such as synthetic oxytocin, ergot alkaloids, and prostaglandins—act by triggering specific receptors within the uterine tissue to induce rhythmic contractions or sustained muscular tonus.
Clinically, oxytocics are primarily employed in obstetrics for the medical induction or augmentation of labor and to facilitate the completion of inevitable or incomplete abortion.
Additionally, they serve as essential frontline therapy during the third stage of labor for the prevention and active management of postpartum hemorrhage.
