DRUGS AFFECTING UTERINE MUSCLE CONTRACTILITY
![Page 2: Drugs for Uterine muscle Contractality](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/58ef25971a28ab1b5c8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
DRUGS PRODUCING UTERINE CONTRACTIONS( OXYTOCIC DRUGS ) 1. OXYTOCIN
2. ERGOT ALKALOIDS Ergometrine (Ergonovine)
3. PROSTAGLANDINS a) PGE2 b) PGF2α

OXYTOCIN
Synthesis
Is a posterior pituitary hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland.
Oxytocin secretion occurs by sensory stimulation from cervix ,vagina , and from suckling at breast.

PHARMACOKINETICS OF OXYTOCIN
Absorption ,Metabolism and Excretion Not effective orallyAdministered intravenously Also as nasal spray Not bound to plasma proteins Catabolized by liver & kidneysHalf life = 5 minutes
![Page 7: Drugs for Uterine muscle Contractality](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/58ef25971a28ab1b5c8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
ROLE OF OXYTOCIN
Uterus Stimulates both the frequency and force of uterine
contractility particularly of the fundus segment of the uterus.
These contractions resemble the normal physiological contractions of uterus (contractions followed by relaxation)
![Page 8: Drugs for Uterine muscle Contractality](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/58ef25971a28ab1b5c8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
![Page 9: Drugs for Uterine muscle Contractality](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/58ef25971a28ab1b5c8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Immature uterus is resistant to oxytocin.
Contract uterine smooth muscle only at term.
Sensitivity increases to 8 fold in last 9 weeks and 30 times in early labor.
Clinically oxytocin is given only when uterine cervix is soft and dilated.
![Page 10: Drugs for Uterine muscle Contractality](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/58ef25971a28ab1b5c8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
MECHANISM OF ACTION The interaction of endogenous or
administered oxytocin , with myometrial cell membrane receptor promotes the influx of ca ++ from extra cellular fluid and from S.R in to the cell , this increase in cytoplasmic calcium ,stimulates uterine contraction .

Therapeutic Uses of Oxytocin1. Induction & augmentation of labor** (slow I.V infusion)
a) Mild preeclampsia

ERGOT ALKALOIDS
Ergometrine (Ergonovine)
Methylergonovine
![Page 16: Drugs for Uterine muscle Contractality](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/58ef25971a28ab1b5c8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Effects on the Uterus Alkaloid derivatives induce TETANIC CONTRACTION of
uterus without relaxation in between. These does not resemble the normal physiological contractions
It causes contractions of uterus as a whole i.e. fundus and cervix(tend to compress rather than to expel the fetus)
Difference between oxytocin & ergots??

PROSTAGLANDINS (PGE2 & PGF2Α) MECHANISM OF ACTION: Contract uterine smooth muscle Difference between PGS and Oxytocin:
PGS contract uterine smooth muscle not only at term(as with oxytocin), but throughout pregnancy.
PGS soften the cervix; whereas oxytocin does not.
PGS have longer duration of action than oxytocin.
