Indications:
It is used for the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony which has not responded to conventional methods of management. Prior treatment should include the use of intravenously administered oxytocin, manipulative techniques such as uterine massage and, unless contraindicated, intramuscular ergot preparations.
Dosage and Administration:
For refractory Postpartum Uterine Bleeding, an initial dose of 250 micrograms of Carboprost Trometamol (Evacarb) 250 mcg injection is to be given deep, intramuscularly. In clinical trials, it was found that the majority of successful cases (73%) responded to single injections. In some selected cases, however, multiple dosing at intervals of 15 to 90 minutes was carried out with successful outcome. The need for additional injections and the interval at which these should be given can be determined only by the attending physicians as dictated by the course of clinical events. The total dose of Carboprost Trometamol (Evacarb) should not exceed 2 milligrams (8 doses).
