PROSTODIN 125MCG INJECTION 0.5 ML

How PROSTODIN 125MCG INJECTION 0.5 ML Works

• PROSTODIN 125MCG INJECTION 0.5 ML is a synthetic prostaglandin analogue that plays a crucial role in managing postpartum hemorrhage, a serious condition involving excessive bleeding after childbirth. This medication works by stimulating the myometrium, which is the muscular layer of the uterus. When PROSTODIN 125MCG INJECTION 0.5 ML is administered, it binds to prostaglandin receptors on the myometrial cells, initiating a cascade of intracellular events.
• This binding action leads to a significant increase in the concentration of calcium ions within the myometrial cells. The elevated calcium levels then trigger powerful and coordinated contractions of the uterine muscles. These contractions are essential for compressing the blood vessels that supply the placental bed, the area where the placenta was attached to the uterine wall during pregnancy. By constricting these blood vessels, PROSTODIN 125MCG INJECTION 0.5 ML effectively reduces blood flow to the site and helps to stop the postpartum bleeding.
• Furthermore, the stimulated uterine contractions also aid in the expulsion of any remaining placental fragments or blood clots from the uterus. This action promotes uterine involution, which is the process of the uterus returning to its pre-pregnancy size and state. The combined effect of uterine contraction and involution significantly minimizes the risk of prolonged bleeding and related complications following delivery.
