Sintesi

Dinoprostone and oxytocin both stimulate uterine contractions, and giving them close together can produce excessive uterine activity. This may lead to uterine tachysystole, fetal heart rate abnormalities, or uterine rupture, particularly in women with a previous uterine scar or high parity.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Dinoprostone and Oxytocin can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Dinoprostone belongs to Endocrine; Oxytocin belongs to Endocrine.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Cosa fare
