Pethidine consumption in oxytocin treated group was higher (41 mg vs 89 mg, p = 0.04).

Alfentanyl (10(-5) M), meperidine (10(-5) M), remifentanyl (10(-4) M), bupivacaine (10(-4) M), ropivacaine (10(-4) M) and midazolam (3 x 10(-5) M) caused significant decreases in contractile responses of uterine strips to oxytocin.

In addition, however, pethidine depresses the oxytocin responsiveness both of mammary myoepithelium and of myometrium.
Thus pethidine inhibits oxytocin secretion in all three conditions; this inhibition is probably mediated by central opioid receptors.
