Oxytocin and Chlormadinone

January 4, 2013 | 25,00 EUR | answered by Christian Welsch

Hello. 3 weeks ago, I underwent a dilation and curettage procedure. Due to blood residues in the uterus, as well as an elevated HCG level, I was injected with Oxytocin intramuscularly yesterday. In addition, I am still taking Chlormadinon 2 mg until Tuesday.
How long does it take for both medications to be eliminated from my system so that I no longer have to worry about any side effects? Unfortunately, I couldn't find any specific information about the half-lives on the internet. Thank you very much.

Dear questioner, the effect of oxytocin is very short-term, so there should be no side effects by today. Chlormadion can trigger withdrawal bleeding 2-5 days after discontinuation, but after that there should be nothing else to expect. Do you have any questions? Regards, c.welsch
