Carbitex Injection

Prescription Required

Product introduction

Carbitex Injection is a medicine used to treat bleeding in women who have just had a baby. In some women, the womb (uterus) doesn’t contract (shrink) quickly enough after delivery. This makes it more likely that they’ll bleed more than normal. Carbitex Injection makes the womb contract and helps reduce the risk of bleeding.

Carbitex Injection is used in Pre-term labor.

In Prevention of Postpartum Bleeding

Carbitex Injection helps control excessive bleeding post delivery. This helps prevent severe loss of blood that can lead to drop in blood pressure, shock, and even death if not controlled in time.

How to use Carbitex Solution for Injection

How Carbitex Solution for Injection works

Carbitex 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 with 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.

Heavy bleeding is expected after a delayed period. Try Tranexa tablets to control the bleeding.

Hi dear. Usually bleeding decreases while on Diane 35. Also amount if bleeding would depend on how you are taking the pills. However don't worry, decrease in bleeding is expected.
