Side Effects
Drugs acting on the Uterus
Pregnancy And Lactation
In patients who may not have an adequate uterine contraction after a single injection of carbetocin, more aggressive treatment with additional doses of oxytocin or ergometrine is warranted. As carbetocin is closely related in structure to oxytocin, hyponatraemia may occur. Carbetocin should be used cautiously in the presence of epilepsy, migraine, asthma or any state in which a rapid addition to extracellular water may produce hazard for an already overburdened system. Patients with eclampsia and pre-eclampsia should be monitored for changes in blood pressure. Carbetocin is not recommended for use in elderly patients.
