Prostaglandin-oxytocin enhancement and potentiation and their clinical applications.
The pharmacological phenomena of enhancement and potentiation of uterine response occur respectively when combinations of some prostaglandins and oxytocin are given serially and simultaneously to a patient. Employing these phenomena allows small doses of the drugs to achieve the same effects as a large dose given alone. In a pilot study of the use of the combination of prostaglandin and oxytoci...
متن کاملOxytocin release by infused prostaglandin.
Plasma oxytocin levels were measured serially in 22 women receiving prostaglandin E(2) or F(2alpha) intravenously for the induction of labour. Oxytocin was detected in the plasma of 19 of the 22 women; positive levels were found in 60 (43%) of 139 plasma samples, an incidence similar to that in the late first stage of spontaneous labour. Oxytocin was found in the maternal plasma even when the f...

There seems little doubt, however, that the enzyme-inducing activity of rifampicin enables the liver to handle the two drugs adequately within a few weeks. Few of our cases showed abnormalities of function later than the 12th week, and in the series of Lees et al. the initial reaction occurred within seven weeks with a mode at three weeks. Histological data are available from liver biopsy in so...

In relation to the latter, the author develops an argument in favour of this intervention by virtue of its consistency with the belief that, if a therapeutic treatment is to be considered acceptable, it ...
متن کاملClinical observations on the course of oxytocin- or prostaglandin E2/oxytocin-induced parturition in mares.
The objective of this study was to compare the course of parturitions induced with sole oxytocin with those induced with the combination of intracervical prostaglandin E2 jelly and oxytocin. For this purpose 13 mares in advanced pregnancy were allocated to the groups pretreated with either intracervical PGE2 (experimental group) or saline (control group) two hours before intravenous oxytocin (5...
