1. What is Atosiban EVER Pharma and what is it used for

Atosiban EVER Pharma contains atosiban. Atosiban EVER Pharma can be used to delay the
premature birth of your baby. Atosiban EVER Pharma is used in adult women who are
pregnant between the 24th and 33rd week of pregnancy.
Atosiban EVER Pharma works by reducing the intensity of uterine contractions. It also slows down the
frequency of contractions. It works by blocking the effects of a natural hormone in the body called
“oxytocin” which causes uterine contractions.

2. What you need to know before you are given Atosiban EVER Pharma

Do not use Atosiban EVER Pharma:

• If you are less than 24 weeks pregnant.
• If you are more than 33 weeks pregnant.
• If you have rupture of membranes (premature rupture of membranes) after 30 complete weeks of gestation.
• If the fetus has an abnormal heart rate.
• If you have vaginal bleeding that, in the opinion of the doctor, requires immediate delivery.
• If you suffer from a condition called “severe pre-eclampsia” which, according to the doctor's judgment, requires immediate delivery. Severe pre-eclampsia is a condition in which you have high blood pressure, fluid retention and/or protein in your urine.
• If you suffer from a condition called “eclampsia” which is similar to “severe pre-eclampsia” but with the addition of convulsions. This condition requires immediate delivery.
• In case of fetal death.
• If you have or suspect you have a uterine infection.
• If the placenta covers the birth canal.
• In case of placental abruption from the uterine wall.
• In any other condition for you or the fetus where continuing the pregnancy would be dangerous.
• If you are allergic to atosiban or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Do not use Atosiban EVER Pharma if you are in one of the conditions described above. If you are not sure,
ask your doctor, midwife or pharmacist before using Atosiban EVER Pharma.

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor, midwife or pharmacist before using Atosiban EVER Pharma:

• If you think you have had rupture of membranes (premature rupture of membranes).

• If the pregnancy is multiple.
• If the contractions recur, treatment with Atosiban EVER Pharma may be repeated for another 3 times.
• If the fetus is small for the stage of pregnancy.
• After delivery, the uterus may have a reduced ability to contract. This can lead to bleeding.
• If you have a twin pregnancy and/or you are given medicines that can delay the birth of your baby, such as medicines used for high blood pressure. These conditions may increase the risk of pulmonary edema (fluid accumulation in the lungs).

If you are in one of the conditions described above, or if you are not sure, talk to your doctor,
midwife or pharmacist before you are given Atosiban EVER Pharma.
