Syntometrine is a drug used to control postpartum bleeding. It contains two active ingredients, oxytocin and epinephrine, which help contract the uterus and reduce bleeding. It is usually given soon after delivery to prevent or manage the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. 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 doctor about allergic reactions or use of other medications before use to ensure safe use. Please follow your doctor's advice when using this medication, pay close attention to any unusual reactions after use, and seek prompt help from a medical professional.
Instructions:
SYNTOMETRINE (or equivalent alternative) is a medicine used to promote uterine contractions, often to control bleeding after childbirth. The drug should be injected by a health care provider, usually at the end of the third trimester after delivery. It does not need to be taken with food, but the patient should lie down while receiving the injection. Strenuous exercise or activities should be avoided 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: 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 adult doses and need to be adjusted carefully.
Be sure to use the medicine as recommended by your doctor or health care provider, and do not adjust the dosage or usage on your own. If you have any discomfort or questions, you should consult a medical professional immediately.
SYNTOMETRINE (or equivalent) is a medicine used to promote contractions of the uterus, often 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 the uterine muscles to contract excessively, causing uterine rupture or bleeding. You should pay close attention to your body's reaction when using this drug. If you feel uncomfortable, stop using it immediately and seek medical assistance.
SYNTOMETRINE (or equivalent) is a medicine used to control postpartum hemorrhage, but there are some contraindications to be aware of:
1. Women with high blood pressure or heart disease are not suitable to use SYNTOMETRINE, as this may increase the burden on the heart and lead to more serious health problems.
2. If the mother is at risk of uterine hypercontraction 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 ingredients of SYNTOMETRINE, should avoid using this drug to avoid allergic reactions.
4. If the mother already uses 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 using this drug and to avoid possible risks and side effects.

During pregnancy, you should take special care to avoid using any medications that have not been approved by your doctor, including prescription and over-the-counter medications. If you experience any discomfort or require medical help, seek immediate advice from your doctor.
