• CARBITEX 100MCG/ML INJECTION is a synthetic analogue of oxytocin, a naturally occurring hormone in the body. It's primarily used to prevent excessive bleeding after childbirth, a condition known as postpartum hemorrhage. This injection works by mimicking the action of oxytocin, specifically targeting the smooth muscles of the uterus.
• When administered, CARBITEX 100MCG/ML INJECTION binds to receptors on the uterine muscles, causing them to contract strongly and rhythmically. These contractions help to compress the blood vessels in the uterus, effectively reducing and controlling bleeding at the site where the placenta separated from the uterine wall.
• Compared to other drugs used for postpartum hemorrhage, CARBITEX 100MCG/ML INJECTION offers the advantage of being long-acting, potentially requiring fewer doses. By promoting sustained uterine contractions, it ensures that the uterus remains firm and contracted, minimizing the risk of further bleeding and promoting a faster recovery for the mother after delivery.

• CARBITEX 100MCG/ML INJECTION will be administered to you by a trained healthcare professional in a hospital or clinical setting. This ensures that the medication is given safely and effectively. It is typically administered either as an injection directly into a vein (intravenous) or into a muscle (intramuscular). The specific method of administration will depend on your individual needs and the judgment of your doctor.
• The dosage, route of administration (whether intravenous or intramuscular), and the frequency of injections will be determined by your doctor. These factors are carefully considered based on your specific medical condition, its severity, and your overall health status. Other medications you may be taking, as well as your response to CARBITEX 100MCG/ML INJECTION, will also influence these decisions.
• It is crucial to follow your doctor's instructions precisely regarding the administration of CARBITEX 100MCG/ML INJECTION. Do not attempt to self-administer this medication. If you have any questions or concerns about the injection, do not hesitate to discuss them with your doctor or the healthcare professional administering the medication. They can provide you with clear and accurate information to alleviate any anxiety you may have.
