CONT

La carbétocine possède les mêmes propriétés pharmacologiques et cliniques que celles d'un agoniste de l'ocytocine à action prolongée. La carbétocine, comme l'ocytocine, se lie de façon sélective aux récepteurs de l'ocytocine du muscle lisse de l'utérus. Elle stimule les contractions régulières de l'utérus, augmente la fréquence des contractions déjà présentes ainsi que le tonus du muscle utérin.
