Question about Pitocin...any help would be appreciated!

Hi all, I am getting my self ready for this weekends clinical by having the drug sheets on certain drugs that are generally routine for the mother/baby unit. I have my other ones but my Davis' drug guide does not have pitocin or oxytocin listed. I know that its a hormone and a synthetic but I would have thought it would be listed.

Does anyone know where I can get plain facts about it, i.e. a drug sheet? I did a brief search online but got mostly consumer directed information, I'm looking for medical related information.

Thanks in advance all! :):):):)

let me check mine under oxytocin, i looked up pitocin but maybe its under o. I'm looking for the nursing responsiblities and the dosage for post partum.

But I don't want you to have to type it all out, I will check my book real quick and see if its under oxytocin instead of pitocin. Thanks :):)
