Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

150 pregnant women admitted for spontaneous, induced or augmented vaginal delivery and categorized as low risk for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) were divided randomly into two groups. Carbetocin group (C) received 1 ampoule of Carbetocin (100 μg/ml) (Pabal®, Draxis/Multipharma, Egypt, under license from DRAXIS PHARMA-Canada) added to 10 cc saline and given IV after the delivery of the baby. Misoprostol group (M) received 2 rectal misoprostol tablets (800 μg) (Misotac; SIGMA Pharm, Cairo, Egypt) after the delivery of the baby. Blood samples were tested to measure hemoglobin levels upon admission to the labor room and 12 hours after delivery
