Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a major global problem that affects maternal morbidity and mortality. Carbetocin, a synthetic oxytocin analogue, has been found to be a possible new therapeutic option for PPH in recent studies. Carbetocin has various advantages over standard therapy, including a longer half-life, higher stability, and improved uterotonic action. These characteristics make it an appealing alternative to oxytocin, the standard uterotonic medication used in PPH therapy. The prolonged duration of action of carbetocin can lower the likelihood of recurrent bleeding and the need for further therapies, resulting in better maternal outcomes. Carbetocin has been found to reduce blood loss and the need for extra uterotonics during postpartum haemorrhage care. When carbetocin was compared against oxytocin in a major multicentre study, it was shown to be non-inferior in terms of blood loss and uterine atony. Because of its superior uterotonic characteristics, carbetocin is especially beneficial in instances of PPH caused by uterine atony. It has a better safety profile than oxytocin, with no substantial increase in adverse events. Additional study is required to investigate appropriate doses, delivery methods, and cost-effectiveness. Carbetocin is expected to become the recommended therapy for postpartum haemorrhage as more research and clinical experience accumulate.
