Carbetocin is more heat stable than oxytocin with at least equivalent efficacy for preventing postpartum hemorrhage. It will certainly be helpful if the supplier can make it available in low-income country settings at a price comparable to oxytocin. But even so, programs will still need oxytocin and other uterotonic medications.
卡贝缩宫素比催产素更热稳定,对于预防产后出血至少具有同等疗效。如果供应商能够以与催产素相当的价格在低收入国家提供这种药物,那将是非常有帮助的。但即便如此,项目仍将需要催产素和其他子宫收缩药物。
