About this active substance
Carbetocin is a synthetic analog of oxytocin used to prevent postpartum hemorrhage caused by uterine atony. It is a uterotonic that stimulates uterine contractions and is typically administered after cesarean or vaginal delivery.
Carbetocin is effective in reducing postpartum blood loss and is considered a safe and efficient alternative to oxytocin. Unlike oxytocin, it has a longer duration of action, reducing the need for repeated administration.
It is well-tolerated but may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, headache, or low blood pressure. Its use is contraindicated during active pregnancy or in cases of hypersensitivity to the substance.
