Carbetocin

Basic Description

Structure and function:
Carbetocin is a synthetic peptide that is an analog of oxytocin.
Its main function is to promote uterine smooth muscle contraction by activating oxytocin receptors, which is used for labor and postpartum hemostasis.
Carbetocin has a longer half-life and more potent effect, providing longer-lasting uterine contractions.
In vitro and in vivo studies:
In in vitro experiments, carbetocin can significantly increase the contraction of uterine smooth muscle.
In vivo experiments, carbetocin can effectively promote labor and postpartum uterine contractions and reduce bleeding.
In clinical applications, carbetocin is used to prevent and treat postpartum hemorrhage.
