About Utgard 50mg Injection
Utgard 50mg Injection belongs to a class of medications called ‘tocolytic agents’ used to prevent premature labor. Premature labour happens when consistent contractions result in the opening of the cervix after week 20 but before week 37 of pregnancy. Preterm labour can result in premature delivery. Symptoms include leaking fluid or bleeding from the vagina, pressure in the pelvis, and cramps that feel like menstrual cramps regularly.
Utgard 50mg Injection 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.
