Medical Description
Utodin injection is used in hospital care during pregnancy to temporarily reduce contractions when labour starts too early. It contains ritodrine, a beta stimulant that relaxes the muscle of the uterus. By reducing the strength and frequency of uterine contractions, it may give the obstetric team time to assess the pregnancy and provide further care. A doctor or nurse gives Utodin injection into a vein or muscle in a hospital or clinic, with monitoring of the pregnant person and baby.
