Despite its powerful effect, however, dexamethasone has been proven to possess minimal salt and water retention properties.
ACTION:
Being a powerful glucocorticosteroid, Scancortin has strong anti-inflammatory, anti-toxic, anti-shock, anti-allergic, anti-pyretic and immunosuppressive properties. Also, the aqueous solution of Scancortin permits a rapid diffusion of the solution into the body fluids thus producing a quick penetrating effect.
INDICATIONS:
Due to its powerful and fast action, peak blood levels are reached within 5 minutes after injection, thus making it an ideal preparation for life-threatening conditions and other emergency cases.
Scancortin is highly recommended for anaphylactic shock, severe allergic reactions, fulminating infections, cerebral edema. Scancortin can also be used intrathecally in painful joints and acute rheumatic disorders. It is also indicated as a starter dose or when oral therapy is impossible or impractical.
DOSAGE:
Scancortin can be given by intravenous, intramascular, sub-cutaneous, intrathecal or by I.V. drip. Normally, one injection of 5 mg is sufficient when given daily.
However, in more serious cases, 2-3 injections may be required depending on the severity of the condition and the response of the patient. In severe cases of shock such as in toxemia or serious forms of allergies, the dosage may be increased proportionately to counteract the severe stress present.
PRECAUTION AND SIDE-EFFECTS:
Like any other glucocorticosteroid, Scancortin should also be used with caution in patients with tuberculosis, mental disorders, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, renal insufficiency, and other conditions contra-indicated to corticosteroid therapy. In cases of emergencies where the life of the patient is in danger, however, large doses may be given for short periods of time despite the presence of contraindications.

Oxytocin is also used to stimulate uterine contractions in a woman with an incomplete or threatened miscarriage.
COMPOSITION:
Each ml contains:
Oxytocin (synthetic) BP……………………………………………..10 I.U.
DESCRIPTION:
Oxytocin is an essential hormone for childbirth and lactation. The hormone is produced in the hypothalamus and secreted by the posterior pituitary.
Obcin Injection contains synthetic oxytocin which is completely free from traces of vasopressin or extraneous animal protein. As a result, Obcin reduces the risk of elevated blood pressure and minimize the risk of allergic and hypersensitivity reactions.
ACTIONS:
The pharmacological and clinical actions of Obcin Injection are identical with those of natural purified oxytocin. It has a direct stimulatory effect on the smooth muscle of the uterus that initiates and increases uterine contractions without blood pressure elevation. The effectivity of Obcin Injection progressively increases at term due to the increased uterine sensitivity to oxytocic activity.
INDICATION:
Induction of labour, inadequate uterine effort and post-partum hemorrhage.
DOSAGE:
Induction of labour:
Obcin should be administered as an intravenous infusion or preferably, by means of a variable-speed infusion pump. The initial infusion rate should be set at 1-4 mU/min (2-8 drops/min). It may be gradually increased at intervals not shorter than 20 min.
Caesarean section:
5 IU by slow intravenous injection immediately after delivery.
Prevention of postpartum uterine haemorrhage:
5 IU slowly intravenous or 5-10 IU IM after delivery of the placenta. For induction or enhancement of labour, the infusion should be continued at an increased rate during the third stage of labour and for the next few hours thereafter.
Treatment of postpartum uterine haemorrhage:
5 IU slowly I.V. or 5-10 IU I.M., followed in severe cases by I.V. infusion 5-20 IU of Oxytocin in 500 ml of a non-hydrating diluent, run at the rate necessary to control uterine atony.
Incomplete, inevitable, or missed abortion:
5 IU slowly I.V. or 5-10 IU I.M. if necessary followed by I.V. infusion at a rate of 20-40 mU/min or higher. CONTRAINDICATION:
