Speciality: Obstetrics & Gynaecology (OB-GYN)

Description:

Postpartum haemorrhage, or PPH, remains one of the leading causes of maternal mortality worldwide. Traditionally, oxytocin has been the mainstay for prevention, but it comes with storage and stability challenges. Enter carbetocin—a synthetic oxytocin analogue offering a new paradigm in PPH prevention. Unlike oxytocin, carbetocin is heat-stable, making it ideal for use in low-resource settings without reliable refrigeration. Clinical trials have shown it to be equally effective, with a similar safety profile. The introduction of carbetocin marks a significant step forward in safeguarding maternal health, especially in areas where access to cold storage is limited. As we move forward, carbetocin could help save countless lives across the globe.
