CarbetSam 100mcg Injection


Product introduction

CarbetSam 100mcg Injection is a medicine used to treat bleeding in women who have just had a baby. In some women, the womb (uterus) doesn’t contract (shrink) quickly enough after delivery. This makes it more likely that they’ll bleed more than normal. CarbetSam 100mcg Injection makes the womb contract and helps reduce the risk of bleeding.

CarbetSam 100mcg Injection is given as an intravenous injection by a doctor or a nurse. You should not self-administer this medicine at home. CarbetSam 100mcg Injection must not be given until after the baby has been delivered. Before receiving this injection, let your doctor know if you have any medical conditions.

Some of the most common side effects of this medicine include nausea, stomach pain, itching, flushing, low blood pressure, headaches, and tremors. Consult your doctor if any of these side effects bother you or get worse. Let your doctor also know if you develop any new symptoms while you are being treated with CarbetSam 100mcg Injection.

You should not use CarbetSam 100mcg Injection if you are allergic to any components of this medicine. You should also not use this medicine if you have any kidney or liver problems, have heart problems, or have a history of epilepsy. Let your doctor also know if you have migraines, asthma, or preeclampsia. CarbetSam 100mcg Injection should not be used in pregnant women.

Benefits of CarbetSam Injection

In Prevention of Postpartum Bleeding

CarbetSam 100mcg Injection helps control excessive bleeding post delivery. This helps prevent severe loss of blood that can lead to drop in blood pressure, shock, and even death if not controlled in time. This drug helps with the proper contraction of the uterus, and therefore, prevents hemorrhage and further complications.

Side effects of CarbetSam Injection

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How CarbetSam Injection works

CarbetSam 100mcg Injection belongs to a class of medicines called oxytocin receptor agonists. Oxytocin is the hormone that helps in muscle contraction during labor. This medicine binds with oxytocin receptors present on the smooth muscles of the uterus and helps in muscle contractions. These rhythmic contractions of the uterus help in childbirth and prevent excessive bleeding after childbirth.

Heavy bleeding is expected after a delayed period. Try Tranexa tablets to control the bleeding.

Hi dear. Usually bleeding decreases while on Diane 35. Also amount if bleeding would depend on how you are taking the pills. However don't worry, decrease in bleeding is expected.
