Syntometrine is a medicine used to control postpartum bleeding. It contains two active ingredients, oxytocin and adrenaline, which help contract the uterus and reduce bleeding. It is usually given soon after delivery to prevent or manage the risk of postpartum bleeding. When using it, you should be aware of possible side effects, including headache, nausea, vomiting, and increased blood pressure. In Hong Kong, Syntometrine is usually given by healthcare professionals in hospitals or clinics and requires a doctor's prescription. Patients should inform their doctors about any allergic reactions or use of other medications before use to ensure safe use. Please follow your doctor's advice when using this medication, and pay close attention to any unusual reactions after use and seek help from a medical professional promptly.
Instructions:
SYNTOMETRINE (or an equivalent) is a medicine used to increase uterine contractions, usually for bleeding control after childbirth. The medication should be given by injection by a healthcare provider, usually at the end of the third stage of labor. It does not need to be taken with food, but the patient should lie down for the injection. Avoid strenuous exercise or activity during use.
Dosage Guidelines:
-Adults: The recommended starting dose is 1 ml, which can be repeated every 15 minutes as needed, but the total dose should not exceed 5 ml.
- Children: The dosage should be based on age and weight and should be used under the guidance of a physician. Children's doses are usually lower than those for adults and need to be adjusted carefully.
Please be sure to use the medication as recommended by your doctor or healthcare provider and do not adjust the dosage or usage on your own. If you have any discomfort or questions, you should consult a professional medical staff immediately.
SYNTOMETRINE (or an equivalent) is a medicine used to increase uterine contractions, usually to prevent bleeding after childbirth. Common side effects include headache, nausea, vomiting and heart palpitations. A small number of patients may experience allergic reactions such as rash, difficulty breathing, and urticaria. Long-term use of SYNTOMETRINE may cause excessive contractions of the uterine muscles, leading to uterine rupture or bleeding. When using this drug, you should pay close attention to your body's reactions. If you feel uncomfortable, stop using it immediately and seek medical help.
SYNTOMETRINE (or equivalent) is a drug used to control postpartum haemorrhage, but there are some contraindications to be aware of:
1. SYNTOMETRINE is not suitable for pregnant women with high blood pressure or heart disease, as it may increase the burden on the heart and cause more serious health problems.
2. If the mother is at risk of excessive uterine contractions or uterine rupture, SYNTOMETRINE should be avoided to avoid aggravating these problems.
3. People with a history of allergies, especially those who are sensitive to the SYNTOMETRINE ingredient, should avoid using this drug to avoid triggering an allergic reaction.
4. If the mother is already using other drugs to control bleeding or other health problems, SYNTOMETRINE should be used under the guidance of a doctor to avoid drug interactions or adverse effects.
In summary, you should consult your doctor in detail before using SYNTOMETRINE to ensure that your health condition is suitable for the use of this drug and to avoid possible risks and side effects.

Care should be taken to avoid the use of Syntometrine or similar drugs during pregnancy. These medicines contain oxytocin, which may be dangerous to the fetus. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, you should tell your doctor or healthcare professional. They can help you find safe alternatives that will ensure the health of you and your baby.
During pregnancy, you should be especially careful to avoid using any medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, that are not approved by your doctor. If you feel unwell in any way or require medical help, seek advice from your doctor immediately.
In short, any medication must be used with caution during pregnancy, especially those that have potential effects on the fetus. Talk to your doctor to make sure you and your baby are healthy.
