Induction of labour syntocinon

Properties :
syntocinon contains synthetically prepared oxytocin 
the pharmacological and clinical action of syntocinon are identical with those of natural oxytocin ,but it is completely free from vasopressin 
syntocinon stimulates rhythmic contractions of uterus , inreases the frequency and amplitude of existing contractions , and improves the tone of uterine musculature without preventing the relaxation between contractions which is of primary importance in the avoidance of foetal asphyxia .

AS the pressor and antidiuretic effect is very low 
it may also used in gestosis (eclampsia , nephropathy) .
