Brand new and never opened but an antique treasure that’s hard to find! Lilly’s Pituitary Extract, Obstetrical - six ampoules - has pencil writing on the front of the box (11C) as shown in the photos - smoke free home
The fact that this has never been opened and extremely rare to find, if at all, makes this a very unique piece for collectors.
Pituitary extract was historically used in obstetrics to stimulate uterine contractions and manage complications like postpartum hemorrhage. Eli Lilly and Company, a pharmaceutical company based in Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.A., produced this medication. Pituitary extract has since been replaced by safer and more effective alternatives in modern obstetric practice.
