6.Contents of the package and additional information

Tractocile contains atosiban. Tractocile may be used to delay premature birth of your baby. Tractocile is used in adult pregnant women, from week 24 to week 33 of pregnancy.

Tractocile works by making the contractions of your uterus (womb) less strong. It also makes contractions occur less frequently. This occurs because the natural hormone called “oxytocin”, the hormone that contracts the uterus (womb), is prevented from acting.

No use Tractocile

• If you are less than 24 weeks pregnant.
• If you are more than 33 weeks pregnant.
• If your waters have broken (premature rupture of membranes) and you have completed 30 weeks of pregnancy or more.
• If your baby (fetus) has an abnormal heart rate.
• If you are bleeding from the vagina and your doctor wants you to start labor so your baby can be born immediately.
• If you have something called “severe preeclampsia” and your doctor wants you to start labor so your baby can be born immediately. Severe preeclampsia is when you have very high blood pressure, fluid retention and/or protein in your urine.
• If you have something called “eclampsia” which is similar to “severe preeclampsia” but you will also have seizures. This will mean that labor must start so your baby can be born immediately.
• If your baby has died.
• If you have or may have an infection in the uterus.
• If your placenta is blocking the birth canal.
• If your placenta is separating from the wall of your uterus.
• If you or your baby have other conditions that may be hazardous to continue with the pregnancy.

-SIf you are allergic to atosiban or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

Do not use Tractocile if you are affected by any of these situations. If you are unsure, inform your doctor, midwife or pharmacist before Tractocile is administered to you.

Warnings and precautions

• If you experience contractions again, Tractocile treatment may be repeated up to three times more.

• If your uterus, once the baby has been born, is unable to contract. This may cause bleeding.
