Ontario Registered Pharmacy Technician (RphT) Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following medications is indicated for induction of labour contractions?

Ritodrine

Oxytocin

Oxytocin is the only option that is indicated for induction of labor contractions. Ritodrine is a beta-agonist that is used to stop preterm labor, not induce labor. Medroxyprogesterone is a synthetic progestin that is used for contraception and hormone replacement therapy, not for induction of labor. Estrogen is not used for induction of labor but is sometimes given in combination with oxytocin to increase its effectiveness.
