TREATMENT OF POSTPARTUM HAEMORRHAGE WITH CHEMICALLY MODIFIED HEPARIN OR HEPARAN SULPHATE AND A UTEROTONIC AGENT.

摘要

The present invention refers to the use of certain sulfated glycosaminoglycans for treatment or prevention of postpartum haemorrhage. The sulfated glycosaminoglycans have a reduced anticoagulant activity and are administered in combination with at least one uterotonic agent capable of promoting myometrial contractions of the uterus and thereby compress the vessels and cease the bleeding.
