Overdosage of carbetocin may produce uterine hyperactivity. At single doses up to 800 micrograms tachycardia was observed.
Overdosage of oxytocin may lead to hyponatraemia and water intoxication in severe cases, especially when associated with excessive concomitant fluid intake. As carbetocin is an analogue of oxytocin, the possibility of a similar event cannot be excluded.
Signs of overdose may be the symptoms arising from water intoxication and uterine hyperactivity. Treatment of overdosage of carbetocin consists of symptomatic and supportive therapy.
