Product Description
Introduction to Carbitex Hs 100mcg Injection
Carbitex Hs 100mcg injection contains the active ingredient Carbetocin, which belongs to the class called oxytocin receptor antagonist. It is indicated to prevent excessive bleeding in women who have recently delivered their babies. It is a synthetic, nonapeptide form of the hormone oxytocin, which promotes contractions of muscle cells in the uterus and epithelial cells in the breast. This hormone helps induce labor during delivery time and reduces blood flow from the placenta to the baby after delivery.
Carbitex Hs 100mcg injection should not be administered if you are pregnant or in labor with an undelivered baby, allergic to Carbetocin or its ingredients, or allergic to oxytocin. Avoid taking this medicine if you have liver or kidney disease, serious heart disease, or epilepsy. Before taking this medicine, it is crucial to inform your physician if you have experienced migraines, have asthma, pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure in pregnancy), eclampsia (toxemia of pregnancy), heart or circulation issues (like high blood pressure), or any other medical conditions.
Therapeutic Effects of Carbitex Hs 100mcg Injection
Carbitex Hs 100mcg injection functions similarly to oxytocin hormone by binding to specific uterine muscles, inducing their contraction, and reducing bleeding by stopping uterine bleeding.

Inform your healthcare provider about all your medicines, including prescription, over-the-counter, nutritional, supplements, and herbal products. Certain medications like fampridine interact with carbitex Hs 100mcg injection and reduce their effectiveness by causing undesirable side effects.
