What is Hemabate?

Hemabate is an FDA-approved medication manufactured by Pfizer. It contains the prescription medicine carboprost tromethamine. Hemabate is a form of prostaglandin. These are hormone-like substances that are naturally present in the body.

Hemabate is used for the:

• Treatment of postpartum hemorrhage (severe bleeding after childbirth) due to uterine atony which has not responded to conventional methods
• To cause an abortion by stimulating uterine contractions. Hemabate is usually given between the 13th and 20th weeks of pregnancy but can be given at other times for medical reasons

Hemabate is often used when another method of abortion has not completely emptied the uterus, or when a complication of pregnancy would cause the baby to not survive early birth.

What doses of Hemabate are available?

Hemabate is available in the form of a sterile solution, in the following doses: 1 mL contains the equivalent of 250 mcg.

Hemabate is given by deep IM injection for:

• Abortion – 250mcg; subsequent doses of 250mcg should be given at 1.5 – 3.5 hour intervals depending on response. An optional test dose of 100mcg may be given initially. The dose may be increased to 500mcg if uterine contractility is judged to be inadequate after several doses of 250mcg. The max total dose is 12mg
• Refractory postpartum uterine bleeding – initially 250mcg once, additional doses may be given at intervals of 15–90 mins if necessary. Max total dose: 2mg (8 doses)

Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Hemabate active ingredients

Hemabate sterile solution contains the tromethamine salt of the (15S)-15 methyl analog of naturally occurring prostaglandin F2α (pgF2α) in a solution suitable for intramuscular injection.

Carboprost tromethamine is given intramuscularly (directly into the muscle). It stimulates contractions in the uterus similar to labor contractions at the end of a full-term pregnancy. It is not known if carboprost itself directly causes the contractions but in most cases, the uterus is evacuated.

Carboprost tromethamine also stimulates smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract to contract. This may cause vomiting or diarrhea that is common when carboprost tromethamine is used to terminate a pregnancy and for use postpartum.

Hemabate side effects

The most common side effects and adverse reactions caused by Hemabate include:

• Mild menstrual-like cramps or pelvic pain
• Mild nausea
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Chills or mild fever
• Headaches, blurred vision
• Feeling flushed
• Cough or hiccups

In rare instances, Hemabate can cause more serious adverse effects. These can include:

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Severe pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding, or cramping
• Severe nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
• Temperature elevation (pyrexia)
• Difficulty breathing, chest pain
• Feeling light-headed or faint
• Endometritis (inflammation of the lining of the uterus)

A healthcare professional will assess the benefits of using Hemabate against your risk of side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or call a doctor for medical advice.
