It is to help control bleeding, it is short acting, means no long term action or reaction.

Hello. If surgical abortion is done, oxytocin is often added in iv fluid (during abortion) to help in expediting the process of abortion and control bleeding. It is very short-acting drug and it's effect is for very short duration.
