🧬 Introduction – What is Duvadilan?
Duvadilan 10 mg contains isoxsuprine HCl, a tocolytic agent used to relax uterine smooth muscle, thereby delaying preterm labor. Manufactured by Abbott India, it’s often prescribed in OB-GYN practice to help prolong pregnancy and reduce the risk of premature birth.
As a β₂-adrenergic agonist, isoxsuprine reduces uterine contractions and improves uterine blood flow. Accent is placed on balancing timing and dosing to optimize fetal outcomes.
