1. What is Carbetocina GP-Pharm and what is it used for

The active substance of Carbetocina GP-Pharm is carbetocin. It is similar to a substance called oxytocin, which is naturally produced by the body to contract the uterus during childbirth.

Carbetocina GP-Pharm is used in the treatment of women who have just given birth.

In some women, after childbirth, the uterus (womb) does not contract quickly enough. This makes it more likely that they will bleed more than normal. Carbetocina GP-Pharm makes the uterus contract and thus reduces the risk of bleeding.
