Prevent heavy bleeding after birth with two medicines versus one
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.

This trial compares two medications, carbetocin and misoprostol, to see which works better at preventing heavy bleeding (postpartum hemorrhage) after a vaginal delivery. It is for women who have one or more risk factors for heavy bleeding.
This study compares two ways of using misoprostol (a medicine that helps the uterus contract) to prevent heavy bleeding after a C-section. One group gets a vaginal tablet before the surgery, the other gets a tablet under the tongue after the surgery.
This trial tests if giving a medication called misoprostol as a rectal suppository can help reduce bleeding during a planned cesarean section. If you are having a planned cesarean and are generally healthy, this study might be an option for you.
This study looks at how well different doses of a contraction medicine work after an initial dose in women having a planned C-section. It may help find the best way to prevent bleeding after birth.
This trial compares two methods to stop heavy bleeding after childbirth when standard medications have not worked. It tests a special balloon placed in the uterus versus a gauze coated with a natural substance that helps blood clot.
This trial tests whether a medication called carbetocin can help prevent heavy bleeding after giving birth to twins. If you are pregnant with twins and at least 23 weeks along, you may be able to join.
