It is a medicinal plant that contains chemicals that can inhibit the growth of pathogens and boost the body's natural defenses against infectious disorders. Lemongrass is frequently used in baked goods, confections, herbal teas, and other non-alcoholic beverages. Lemongrass essential oil is frequently used as a scent in perfumes and beauty products like creams and soaps. The creation of beta carotene, and other nutrients is derived from citral, which is present in high concentrations in lemongrass essential oil. Lemon grass oil is therefore used in several pharmaceutical businesses for its anti-depressant, analgesic, antipyretic, bactericidal, and antiseptic properties due to the presence of diverse chemical elements.","PeriodicalId":388338,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacovigilance and Drug Research","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131507561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the known benefits of its use is the improvement of uterine contractions. An injectable form of oxytocin is administered intravenously as an infusion. Adverse drug reactions at this stage may distress the baby and worsen the outcome of the pregnancy. \u0000Case details: A 19-year-old female with a history of nine months gestation presented in labour. She was administered oxytocin infusion in ringer lactate to augment labor. She developed itching all over her body and was immediately administered Inj. hydrocortisone intravenously. As the foetus was in distress, she was taken for an emergency lower segment cesarean section (LSCS). \u0000Conclusion: The administration of IV oxytocin was considered the possible cause of the development of rashes in this case. We suggest adopting preventive strategies to avoid ADRs in emergencies to avoid deleterious consequences. The preventive strategies may include screening in the antenatal period for previous history of sensitivity to oxytocin, latex, etc. In addition, other strategies are discussed in this article.","PeriodicalId":388338,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacovigilance and Drug Research","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116967757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
