On the postpartum uterus, carbetocin is capable of raising the rate and force of spontaneous uterine contractions. The start of uterine contraction following carbetocin is fast after intravenous or intramuscular administration, with a firm contraction being obtained within 2 minutes.
A single 100 micrograms intravenous or intramuscular dose of carbetocin administered after the delivery of the infant is sufficient to control adequate uterine contraction that cure uterine atony and more bleeding comparable with an oxytocin infusion stay for several hours.

• Hypersensitivity to carbetocin or to any of the excipients listed in section.
Hepatic or renal disease,
Critical cardiovascular disorders,
Epilepsy.
• The use of Ecbosure Injection at any condition before delivery of the new born is not appropriate because its uterotonic activity continue for several hours. This is in marked contrast to the fast reduction of effect observed after discontinuation of an oxytocin infusion.
• In case of continuous vaginal or uterine bleeding after administration of Ecbosure Injection the cause must be determined. Consideration should be given to causes like retained placental fragments, perineal, vaginal and cervix lacerations, inadequate repair of the uterus, or disorders of blood coagulation.
• Ecbosure Injection is a single administration only, intramuscular or intravenous. In case of intravenous administration, it must be administered slowly over 1 minute. In case of persisting uterine hypotonia or atonia and the consequent excessive bleeding, additional therapy with another uterotonic must be considered. There are no data on additional doses of carbetocin or on the use of carbetocin following continue uterine atony after oxytocin.
• Ecbosure Injection to possess some antidiuretic activity and therefore the possibility of hyponatraemia are not excluded, specialy in patients also receiving large volumes of intravenous fluids. The early signs of drowsiness, listlessness and headache should be recognised to cure convulsions and coma.
• In general, Ecbosure Injection should be used carefully in the presence of migraine, asthma and cardiovascular disease or any condition in which a quick addition to extracellular water can generate hazard for an already overburdened system. The decision of administering carbetocin can be made by the physician after carefully weighing the potential benefit carbetocin can provide in these specific cases.
• There is no data available on the use of Ecbosure Injection in patients with eclampsia. Patients with eclampsia and pre-eclampsia must be carefully monitored.
• Particular studies have not been undertaken in gestational diabetes mellitus.
• Ecbosure Injection has been administered in connection with a number of analgesics, spasmolytics and agents used for epidural or spinal anaesthesia, and no drug interactions have been specify.
• Critical hypertension has been reported when oxytocin was given 3 to 4 hours following prophylactic administration of a vasoconstrictor in conjunction with caudal-block anaesthesia.
• During mixture with ergot-alkaloids, like methylergometrine, oxytocin and carbetocin can enhance the blood pressure enhancing effect of these agents. If oxytocin or methylergometrine are administered after carbetocin there can be a risk of cumulative exposure.
• Since it has been found that prostaglandins potentiate the effect of oxytocin, it is expected that this can also take place with Ecbosure Injection. Therefore, it is not suggested that prostaglandins and carbetocin be used together. If they are concomitantly administered, the patient should be carefully monitored.
• Some inhalation-anesthetics, like halothane and cyclopropane can enhance the hypotensive effect and weaken the effect of carbetocin on the uterus. Arrhythmias have been reported for oxytocin during concomitant use.
• Pregnancy
Ecbosure Injection is contraindicated during pregnancy and must not be used for the induction of labour.
• Breastfeeding
