Carbetocin 100 mcg/ml for injection
Carbetocin is a long acting oxytocin agonist.
Like oxytocin, carbetocin selectively binds to oxytocin receptors in the smooth muscle of the uterus, stimulates rhythmic contractions of the uterus, increases the frequency of existing contractions, and raises the tone of the uterus musculature. On the postpartum uterus, carbetocin is capable of increasing the rate and force of spontaneous uterine contractions.
Carbetocin is indicated for the prevention of uterine atony following delivery of the infant by Caesarean section under epidural or spinal anaesthesia.
