Atosiban SUN contains atosiban. Atosiban SUN is used to delay premature labor in your baby. Atosiban SUN is used in adult pregnant women, from week 24 to week 33 of pregnancy.

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

Do not administer Atosiban SUN

• If you are allergic to atosiban or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
• 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 or more of pregnancy.
• If your baby (fetus) has an abnormal heart rate.
• If you are bleeding vaginally and your doctor wants to start labor so your baby can be born immediately.
• If you have a condition called "severe preeclampsia" and your doctor wants 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 a condition called "eclampsia" which is similar to "severe preeclampsia" but you 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.

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

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor, midwife, or pharmacist before Atosiban SUN is administered to you:

• If you are pregnant with more than one baby.
• If you experience contractions again, Atosiban SUN treatment can be repeated up to three more times.
