1) To precipitate labor
2) To accelerate normal parturition
3) Postpartum evacuation of uterine debris
4) Postoperative contraction of the uterus following a cesarean section and control of uterine hemorrhage.
Oxytocin will contract the smooth muscle cells of the mammary gland to induce milk let-down if the udder is in a proper physiological state.
