How Caboprost Injection works

Caboprost 250mcg Injection is a synthetic prostaglandin F2α analogue that stimulates strong contractions of the uterus after childbirth. These contractions help compress the blood vessels at the site where the placenta was attached, thereby controlling excessive bleeding (postpartum hemorrhage/post-delivery bleeding).

Your doctor may administer additional doses if the bleeding does not stop after the first injection.

It is generally given when conventional treatments have not adequately controlled the bleeding.

How does Caboprost 250mcg Injection help control bleeding after childbirth?

Caboprost 250mcg Injection works by stimulating the muscles of the uterus to contract strongly after childbirth. These contractions help compress the blood vessels at the site where the placenta was attached. This helps reduce blood loss and control postpartum hemorrhage.

How is Caboprost 250mcg Injection administered?

Caboprost 250mcg Injection is administered as a deep intramuscular injection by a trained healthcare professional. It is given in a hospital or specialised medical setting where the patient's condition can be closely monitored. It must not be administered intravenously.

How quickly does Caboprost 250mcg Injection work to control postpartum bleeding?

Caboprost 250mcg Injection stimulates uterine contractions after administration, helping to control excessive bleeding. The response may vary depending on the severity of bleeding and the patient's condition. Your doctor will monitor the bleeding and determine whether additional doses are necessary.

Can Caboprost 250mcg Injection be given more than once if bleeding continues?

Yes, your doctor may administer additional doses of Caboprost 250mcg Injection if the bleeding is not adequately controlled after the first injection.

Caboprost 250mcg Injection should be used with caution in women who have asthma or a history of breathing problems.

Can Caboprost 250mcg Injection be used during pregnancy?

Caboprost 250mcg Injection is intended to control excessive bleeding after childbirth and should not be used during an ongoing pregnancy for this indication.

Can Caboprost 250mcg Injection be used along with other medicines to control postpartum bleeding?

Caboprost 250mcg Injection may increase the effects of other medicines that stimulate uterine contractions, such as oxytocin.
