Oxytocic drugs - what does this mean

Oxytocic drugs are medications that stimulate the uterus to contract and help to induce or speed up labor. they work by stimulating the release of oxytocin, a hormone that is naturally produced by the body during labor and delivery and causes the uterus to contract.

What happens during the disease - oxytocic drugs

Oxytocic drugs are medications that stimulate uterine contractions, which can be used to induce labor or to help strengthen labor contractions. the primary mechanism of action of oxytocic drugs is to increase the production of the hormone oxytocin, which stimulates the smooth muscle of the uterus to contract. this contraction of the uterus can help to expel the fetus from the uterus and facilitate delivery.
