🔹 Product Overview
CARBITEX HS 100 mcg Injection is a obstetric medicine used to help prevent postpartum hemorrhage (excessive bleeding after childbirth), particularly after cesarean delivery in appropriate clinical settings. It contains Carbetocin 100 mcg, a synthetic analogue of the natural hormone oxytocin. It works by stimulating uterine contractions, helping the uterus contract effectively after delivery and reducing the risk of excessive blood loss.
🔹 Key Uses
Prevention of excessive bleeding after childbirth (postpartum hemorrhage)
Helps prevent uterine atony (failure of the uterus to contract properly after delivery)
Supports uterine contraction following cesarean section under medical supervision
Used in obstetric care settings by trained healthcare professionals
🔹 Composition
Active Ingredient: Carbetocin 100 mcg/ml
Drug Class: Oxytocin Receptor Agonist / Uterotonic Agent
Dosage Form: Solution for Injection (1 ml)
Route of Administration: Intravenous administration by healthcare professionals
🔹 How It Works
CARBITEX HS contains Carbetocin, which acts on oxytocin receptors in the smooth muscles of the uterus. This stimulates rhythmic uterine contractions, helping the uterus shrink and reduce bleeding after delivery. By improving uterine tone, it helps lower the risk of postpartum blood loss.
