Caritec 100mcg/ml Solution for Injection is used to prevent excessive bleeding in women after childbirth. In some women, the womb (uterus) does not contract enough after delivery, which increases the risk of excessive bleeding. It helps the womb contract firmly, reducing blood loss and the risk of excessive bleeding after childbirth.

Uses of Caritec Solution for Injection

Benefits of Caritec Solution for Injection

Prevention of Postpartum Bleeding
Postpartum bleeding is excessive blood loss after childbirth, which can lead to serious complications if not controlled. Caritec 100mcg/ml Solution for Injection helps prevent excessive bleeding by stimulating the uterus to contract firmly after delivery. These contractions help the uterus tighten and reduce blood loss, particularly when the uterine muscles fail to contract adequately after childbirth. This helps lower the risk of postpartum haemorrhage and its associated complications.

Side effects of Caritec Solution for 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
Common side effects of Caritec
  • Headache
  • Abdominal pain
  • Nausea
  • Tremors
  • Hypotension (low blood pressure)
  • Flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck and trunk)

How to use Caritec Solution for Injection

Your doctor or nurse will guide you how to use this medicine.

How Caritec Solution for Injection works

Caritec 100mcg/ml Solution for 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 to 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.
