About Tocodrin 10mg Tablet

RITODRINE belongs to a class of medications called ‘tocolytic agents’ used to prevent premature labor and treatment of acute fetal distress. Premature labor is labor that begins early or starts before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy. Symptoms include leaking fluid or bleeding from the vagina, pressure in the pelvis, and cramps that feel like menstrual cramps regularly. Fetal distress is a pregnancy complication in which the fetus has not been receiving enough oxygen.

RITODRINE contains ‘Ritodrine’ which belongs to a class of medications called ‘uterine relaxants’. It is a tocolytic agent, which prevents preterm labor by suppressing uterine contractions. It works by improving blood flow to the smooth muscles of the uterus. This effect helps to decrease the intensity and frequency of uterine contractions, thereby delaying labor.
